Overview
- During his A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin tour, the actor said he would consider playing Kevin McCallister again only if the project felt "perfect."
- He proposed a story in which an adult Kevin, now divorced or widowed and consumed by work, is shut out of his own home by his son, who sets the traps.
- Culkin explained that the house would symbolize the damaged relationship and that Kevin’s goal would be to win back his child’s heart.
- No studio has announced plans for a new film with Culkin, and original director Chris Columbus has publicly argued against reviving the franchise.
- The remarks have renewed attention to a series whose first two entries were major hits, while later sequels and Disney+’s 2021 reboot were poorly received.
