Macaulay Culkin Is Open to a Home Alone Sequel. He Even Has a Pretty Great Idea For It

"Get Macaulay Culkin Tickets Here The acting legend is in the midst of "A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin," a 14-city tour that features both "terrible trivia questions" and "Joe Pesci stories." During the Sunday, November 22nd show at the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center, Culkin revealed (via ) that as we celebrate the 35th anniversary of Home Alone this year, he'd actually be amenable to a sequel. (To clarify, there's already 1992's Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, which is both superior in parts and a lackluster follow-up in other areas.)"

"So, what exactly would be enough to make the 45-year-old actor resume the mantle of Kevin McCallister? Well, it would have to be a story where the now-older McAllister has been through some decidedly hard knocks. "I kind of had this idea. I'm either a widower or a divorcee," Culkin said. "I'm raising a kid and all that stuff. I'm working really hard and I'm not really paying enough attention and the kid is kind of getting miffed at me and then I get locked out.""

"From there, Culkin clarified that he'd basically be a single parent who is all but absent. That would mean Kevin, Jr. would be in the role of precocious protagonist - "setting the traps for me," as Culkin explained - and Kevin acts as the de facto Harry and Marv (Pesci and Daniel Stern). Throw in a sassy version of Alexa and he's clearly on to something!"

Macaulay Culkin is touring with "A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin," a 14-city show featuring "terrible trivia questions" and "Joe Pesci stories." Culkin is open to a new Home Alone sequel tied to the film's 35th anniversary if the story is handled just right. The proposed premise casts an older Kevin McAllister as a widower or divorcee raising a child while working hard and being emotionally absent. The child becomes frustrated, sets traps when Kevin gets locked out, and the plot centers on a reconciliation and the protagonist being let back into his heart, echoing the original film's emotional core.
