Everyone calm down, Macaulay Culkin will not return for another Home Alone movie called Cabin Alone in 2024.

The internet went a bit wild when a fan created a poster – admittedly not exactly convincing – teasing a new Home Alone movie called Cabin Alone, but unfortunately that’s all it was.

A fan called YODA BBY ABY created a poster showing the now 44-year-old Macaulay wearing a Christmas jumper in a festive cabin alongside Catherine O’Hara as his mother, writing: ‘NEW HOME ALONE!!! KEVIN AND HIS MOM!!!

“This Christmas, Kevin McCallister and his mother arrive early at their family’s remote cabin, only to learn that the rest of the family’s flight is delayed.

‘When Marv and Harry target the supposedly empty cabin, Kevin and his mother team up to defend it in the ultimate showdown.

‘With snowy traps, outrageous antics and high-stakes holiday antics, they turn the quiet cabin into an exciting battleground that will make you laugh and cheer.

‘Get ready for a wild holiday adventure with Cabin Alone streaming on Disney+ in December!’

However, no official announcements or trailers have been distributed by Disney+, and the poster is purely fan-made.

While Home Alone had a 2021 reboot in Home Sweet Home Alone, there are no additional projects in the works that we know of.

Cabin Alone wasn’t meant to be, but that doesn’t mean fans aren’t trying to manifest a return to the beloved festive franchise, as many commented on the poster with their Christmas wishes.

‘There’s going to be another Home Alone and Kevin is a dad now!!’ wrote fan Patricia Torrens, while Rachael Taylor added: ‘This sounds so healing it’s a good idea.’

Others laughed at how crazy the internet went over the poster, as Alfie Jenner wrote: ‘The amount of people falling for this is amazing.’

The original 1990 Home Alone film has become one of the most beloved Christmas films of all time, grossing approximately $476 million (£367 million) at the worldwide box office against a production cost of $18 million (£13.9 million).

Home Alone, directed by Chris Columbus, follows an eight-year-old who is mistakenly left at home by his family for Christmas and is forced to fend off a pair of burglars who try to break into his home.

After the success came Home Alone 2: Lost in New York in 1992, when Kevin accidentally boards a plane to New York, where there are, you guessed it, burglars.

Home Alone 3 saw another boy, Alex Pruitt – played by Alex D Linz – plagued by criminals, while Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House was something of a critical flop and saw French Stewart take on the role of Kevin.

In 2012, Home Alone: ​​The Holiday Heist starring Christian Martyn as Finn Baxter was also not well received, and the 2021 film Home Sweet Home Alone, which was set in a vaguely similar universe to its predecessors but essentially not had anything to do with it, only has a 15% Rotten Tomatoes rating. Practice.

Child star Macaulay is currently taking Home Alone on tour in the US, in a ‘nostalgic night’ featuring a screening of the original film and a Q&A.
