Macaulay Culkin Confirmed for Season 2 of Amazon's Fallout Show

Former child star headed for the Mojave

by Khayl Adam Mon, 5am

Kevin McCallister himself, Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin (yes, that is the actor's legal name, following a poll in 2019), has been confirmed to be joining Amazon's Fallout series. Culkin will apparently "play a crazy genius-type character." The series is headed towards the Mojave Desert next, the setting of Fallout: New Vegas, and filming is said to begin imminently.

Culkin is kind of a dead-ringer for Arcade Gannon, a companion character from that game who fits that description, but that's just speculation on our part. The news comes to us by way of Deadline (thanks, VGC), with Culkin himself confirming the news on Instagram. Best known for his iconic role as Kevin McCallister in the Home Alone series, Culkin was a member of the comedy-rock, anti-folk band The Pizza Underground, which would parody The Velvet Underground's songs by variously altering the lyrics to be about pizza.

Do you think Culkin's role will be based on an existing Fallout character or something new entirely? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

This is great news. Its also great to see how well he is nowadays.

Also does anyone else always watch the two Home Alone films each Xmas? I certainly do along with Die Hard.

The story in Season 2 will be everyone will leave a vault and accidently leave him there all alone, in which marauders will try to enter and be done by his traps etc

@DennisReynolds I have been on the “Die Hard is my favorite Christmas movie” movement for, roughly, 15 years now. This recent influx of affirmation has been very encouraging to my mental well being (read: ego)

If he actually changed his name to Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin based on the results of a (what was then known as) Twitter poll, that is simultaneously the most hilarious/incredibly stupid thing I have ever heard of. I tip my cap.

This is such great news! I reckon we'll see a lot of him again, which I'm all here for. I'm curious as what type of character he'll play.

Good to see him getting back on the big screen again. For a 41 year old this guy is a legend.

It's been great to see Macaulay Culkin turn his life around and I'm excited to see him in season 2 of Fallout. Oh and bonus points for using an image from the AVGN episode

Funnily enough I've just got the Home Alone Lego set

Hmm not sure how I feel about him these days. He was great in Home Alone, but his drug addiction wrecked him IMO. He's a bit cocky too. Will see how he performs in the show as his actings alright, well used to be. Just he himself isn't.

@DennisReynolds In our house we watch the first two Home Alone movies every single Christmas without fail, same with Elf. As good as Die Hard is, it isn’t a Christmas movie it just happens to be set around Xmas.

I’m looking forward to seeing Macaulay Culkin in season 2 and it would be great if there was a little nod to the Home Alone movies too.

I heard someone recently sued the VHS copy of Home Alone for $5,000 and won the case. So he's probably bankrupt and trying to pay this legal fee off.
