It’s been more than 30 years since Macaulay Culkin’s last Home Alone movie, but fans seem to believe he’s returning for Cabin Alone, a new sequel – is it true?

After a scene-stealing early turn in Uncle Buck, Culkin became one of the most iconic child characters in movie history as Kevin McCallister in Home Alone, the first of the star’s two blockbuster, mischief-making entries in the franchise.

He returned for the sequel, Lost in New York, but the series continued on without him, for better or worse; there’s a stronger argument for the latter, with the third, mostly forgotten film teeing up two direct-to-DVD follow-ups and a dismissed remake.

With fans digging out their old copies of the original Home Alone as December approaches, they may have seen news of Culkin reprising his role as an adult for a new sequel – but is it actually happening?

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, much like John Krasinski’s supposed Die Hard remake and the fake Polar Express sequel, people have been misled by a fake poster on Facebook.

The post, shared by YODA BBY ABY, claims Culkin is starring in a movie called Cabin Alone that’s coming to Disney Plus on December 18, 2023 – this is absolutely not true. Unfortunately, it has racked up thousands of comments and shares, but fans are getting excited over nothing.

The caption reads: “Get ready for a hilarious adventure in ‘Cabin Alone’ starring Macaulay Culkin! When his family’s cabin getaway turns into treasure hunt chaos, Kevin must outsmart bumbling treasure hunters convinced DB Cooper’s loot is under his cabin. Will he save the day before his family arrives and crashes the party? Find out in this laugh-out-loud family comedy!”

Aside from the first two movies, Culkin played Kevin again in a 2018 advert for Google Assistant. Check it out below:

In the commercial, he uses the tech for everything; ordering more aftershave, talking to the pizza delivery guy, turning down the temperature (without facing the scary furnace), and beginning “Operation Kevin” to fend off burglars waiting outside.

Unfortunately though, Cabin Alone is just a festive lie. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.
