I’d be willing to do it if they wanted to.” These comments have sparked interest and excitement among fans of the original movie, who have been waiting for a sequel ever since the release of the third installment in 1997.
Culkin’s comments have also reignited discussions about a possible “Home Alone” sequel, with many speculating what the storyline could be.

But what would a new “Home Alone” movie look like? Culkin has some ideas. In the podcast, he joked about the possibility of a dark and gritty reboot, saying, “It’s not even ‘Home Alone,’ it’s just ‘Alone’.” However, he quickly added, “I’m imagining that in like, August, if I had to go shoot it somewhere, it would be weird.” This playful banter only adds to the excitement and anticipation among fans, who are eager to see what a new “Home Alone” movie could bring to the table.
