Starring Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister, Home Alone (1990) and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) are classic films that explore themes such as courage, Christmas, and childhood innovativeness. The plot in both films more or less revolves around Kevin as he takes on two thieves: Harry Lyme (Joe Pesci) and Marv Murchins (Daniel Stern).
In December 2023, rumors started circulating about a potential third Home Alone film about Kevin McCallister following the release of what is supposed to be the fanmade trailer of the said film, Home Alone 3: Kevin’s Revenge. If you are wondering whether a third film starring Culkin is indeed coming out, this is what we have discovered.
Here’s all we know about Home Alone 3: Kevin’s Revenge and whether or not it’s coming out.
Is there a Home Alone 3: Kevin’s Revenge release date?
There is no Home Alone 3: Kevin’s Revenge release date as no such film has been ever officially in development.
Although the trailer for Home Alone 3: Kevin’s Revenge has garnered hundreds of thousands of views, it is fake, created by piecing together scenes from other projects of actors who appear in the first two films.
The Home Alone franchise officially has its own third film, though it doesn’t feature Kevin McCallister. Home Alone 3 (1997) revolves around an eight-year-old boy named Alex Pruitt, trying to protect his home from international criminals. The franchise also includes three television films: Home Alone 4 (2002), Home Alone: The Holiday Heist (2012), and Home Sweet Home Alone (2021). Each of these films features a new protagonist. The Home Alone movies, or at least the first two, are quintessential Christmas movies. So, it’s not surprising that the speculations about a new sequel surfaced in December 2023.
The official synopsis for Home Alone (1990) reads:
“Eight-year-old Kevin McCallister makes the most of the situation after his family unwittingly leaves him behind when they go on Christmas vacation. But when a pair of bungling burglars set their sights on Kevin’s house, the plucky kid stands ready to defend his territory. By planting booby traps galore, adorably mischievous Kevin stands his ground as his frantic mother attempts to race home before Christmas Day.”
