Macaulay Culkin said during a recent stop on his “A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin” tour that he “wouldn’t be completely allergic” to returning as Kevin McCallister in a “
Home Alone” sequel. Although he added, “It would have to be just right.” Fortunately, Culkin already has a pitch for a sequel that he would be interested in doing.
“I kind of had this idea,” Culkin said. “I’m either a widower or a divorcee. 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. [Kevin’s son] won’t let me in… and he’s the one setting traps for me.”
Culkin’s “Home Alone” sequel idea is to more or less replace the robbers with Kevin McCallister, as he battles his own son to reenter their home during the holidays. The actor said “the house is some sort of metaphor for our relationship” and his character has to “get let back into son’s heart’ kind of deal. That’s the closest elevator pitch that I have. I’m not completely allergic to it, the right thing.”
