Harry and Marv are still kicking.
Macaulay Culkin, who played Kevin McCallister in the 1990 holiday classic “Home Alone,” is brainstorming a sequel.
“I kind of had this idea,” the star, 45, revealed at his A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin tour on Sunday, per People.
“I’m either a widower or a divorcee. I’m raising a kid and all that stuff. I’m working really hard and I’m not really paying enough attention and the kid is kind of getting miffed at me and then I get locked out.”
Culkin’s on-screen son “won’t let me in.”
Instead of having robbers like Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern), Kevin’s own son is “the one setting traps for me.”
During his tour, Culkin was celebrating the 35th anniversary of the film.
The comedy was followed up by its 1992 sequel, “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.”
Since then, there have been other projects, including a 2021 Disney+ reboot, but with entirely new casts.
“I wouldn’t be completely allergic to it,” Culkin continued. “It would have to be just right.”
During the tour stop, the actor confessed that he and fiancée Brenda Song’s sons, Dakota, 4, and Carson, 3, don’t recognize him from the movie.
“They have no idea that I’m Kevin,” Culkin joked.
And while on stage, the “Richie Rich” star shared some behind-the-scenes details with the crowd.
Turns out, Culkin still has a scar from when Pesci, 82, bit his finger.
“He bit me during rehearsal,” he recounted. “The thing you have to remember [is] I’m not really on screen with Joe and Dan a lot of the movie. They’re off doing everything. I was just talking to the ether, so I didn’t really know him all that well.”
“He said, ‘I’m [going to bite] these fingers off one at a time,’ and then sank his teeth into my finger,” Culkin said about the scene in question. “I was like ‘Ahhh!’ You should have seen his face because he knew he bit a nine-year-old. A nine-year-old coworker.”
Teasing that he should have gotten “HR involved,” Culkin explained that Pesci did apologize.
“I was like, ‘Oh yeah, just don’t do it again,’” he recalled. “So yeah, it actually left a mark. It’s 35 years later, I still have this little divot right there. He gave me a souvenir. It’s a nice story to regale you guys with. It’s worth it now, but back then it was just like, ‘Who is this creep?’”
According to Culkin, he might want to teach his sons some of the “My Cousin Vinnie” star’s tricks.
“They’re really into that,” he stated. “Do you ever show kids this movie, next thing you know the next extra month, all they do is set traps for you? I get reported back to me all the time. My kids are starting to do that now, too.”
Meanwhile, not everyone is in favor of a sequel.
“I think ‘Home Alone’ really exists as, not at this timepiece, but it was this very special moment, and you can’t really recapture that,” director Chris Columbus told Entertainment Tonight. “I think it’s a mistake to try to go back and recapture something we did 35 years ago. I think it should be left alone.”
