It has been over 30 years since Macaulay Culkin starred in his last Home Alone movie, but fans are speculating about his potential return for a new sequel titled Cabin Alone - could this be true? Following his memorable performance in Uncle Buck, Culkin rose to fame as Kevin McCallister in Home Alone, solidifying his status as an iconic child character in cinematic history with his mischievous antics in the franchise's first two blockbuster films.
He came back for the sequel, Lost in New York, but the series carried on without him, leading to mixed results. Many argue that the latter films were not as well-received, with the mostly forgotten third film setting the stage for two direct-to-DVD follow-ups and a dismissed remake.
As fans dust off their old copies of the original Home Alone in anticipation of December, they may have heard about Culkin potentially taking on his role as an adult in a new sequel. But is there any truth to these rumors?
Is Macaulay Culkin returning to Home Alone for Cabin Alone?
No, Macaulay Culkin will not be returning for a new entry in the Home Alone franchise. Cabin Alone is a fake movie that isn’t in development.
Once again, similar to the rumored Die Hard remake with John Krasinski and the fake Polar Express sequel, a fake poster on Facebook has fooled people once more.
Shared by YODA BBY ABY, the post falsely claims that Culkin will star in a movie titled Cabin Alone, set to be released on Disney Plus on December 18, 2023 – this information is completely untrue. Despite this, the post has garnered thousands of comments and shares, causing fans to get excited over false information.

"Prepare for a side-splitting escapade in 'Cabin Alone' featuring Macaulay Culkin! As the serene family retreat morphs into a chaotic treasure quest, Kevin must outwit clumsy treasure seekers who are adamant that DB Cooper's fortune is concealed beneath his cabin. Can he rescue the situation before his family arrives and throws a wrench into the works? Discover the answer in this uproarious comedy the whole family will enjoy!"
Aside from the first two movies, Culkin played Kevin again in a 2018 advert for Google Assistant. Check it out below:
In the advertisement, he relies on the technology for various tasks such as ordering more aftershave, communicating with the pizza delivery person, adjusting the temperature without confronting the scary furnace, and initiating "Operation Kevin" to scare off burglars outside. However, Cabin Alone is ultimately just a holiday illusion. Merry Christmas, you dirty animals.

As a long-time fan of the Home Alone franchise, I was thrilled to hear the rumors that Macaulay Culkin might be returning for a new sequel titled Cabin Alone. The original Home Alone movies hold a special place in my heart, and I have fond memories of watching them with my family during the holiday season. Culkin's performance as Kevin McCallister was iconic, and I believe that his return to the role would be a major draw for fans.
However, I am disappointed to learn that the rumors about Cabin Alone are false. It's a shame that someone would create a fake poster and spread false information, as it got my hopes up for a new Home Alone movie. Despite this setback, I remain hopeful that Culkin will one day return to the role of Kevin McCallister in a future film. In the meantime, I'll continue to enjoy the original Home Alone movies and cherish the memories they bring back.
