In Home Alone 3: Kevin’s Revenge (2025), the teaser trailer takes an unexpected dark twist on the beloved classic. Kevin McCallister, now an adult played by Macaulay Culkin, has grown up dealing with the trauma of his childhood, and he’s no longer the fun-loving, prankster kid we remember. The trailer opens with eerie music and Kevin walking through his old Chicago neighborhood, his childhood home now abandoned, evoking a sense of nostalgia and mystery.
Kevin narrates, “It was fun back then, wasn’t it? But no one stays a kid forever.” We see flashes of Kevin’s life post-Home Alone, and it’s not as happy as we imagined. He’s isolated, bitter, and has a penchant for setting traps—this time, not to protect his home, but to exact revenge.
The trailer cuts to a new family moving into Kevin’s old house. What they don’t realize is that Kevin has returned, and he’s rigged the place with even more advanced and dangerous traps. Played by new cast members like Noah Jupe and Millie Bobby Brown, the teenage siblings quickly realize that they’re not alone in the house. As strange things start happening, they uncover the truth: Kevin is watching, and he’s not the fun-loving prankster anymore.
The teaser escalates with intense, fast-paced scenes of Kevin’s elaborate traps going off, but this time, they’re darker, edgier, and far more dangerous. The trailer hints at a showdown between Kevin and the teens, with the final moments showing Kevin’s chilling grin as he declares, “This time, I’m the one they should fear.”
The camera pans over a familiar tarantula crawling across the floor, a nod to the original films, before cutting to black with the text: “Coming Christmas 2025.” The teaser ends on a cliffhanger, leaving viewers wondering if Kevin can be redeemed or if he’s gone too far.
