Now, a new book titled Welcome to the Family by Barry Hertz finally uncovers the scrapped finale — offering a rare look at what the film’s emotional ending could have been. The Original ‘Furious 7’ Ending Was Very Different According to the book, the planned ending was lighter, action-driven, and designed to launch the next chapter of the franchise — not close a character’s journey. In the early version, the entire crew reunites at Neptune’s Net , the iconic Malibu spot where Brian and Dom first bonded in the 2001 film. They celebrate recovering the high-tech surveillance device known as the God’s Eye , the same gadget hunted by Deckard Shaw . But instead of handing the device back to Mr. Nobody after receiving congressional honors, Dom makes a bold move: he smashes the God’s Eye under his boot. Declaring ...

Despite already mapping out the Avatar films through 2031—and even teasing ideas for two additional sequels— James Cameron now admits the franchise may actually end with Avatar: Fire and Ash . With the first movie earning $2.9 billion and The Way of Water pulling in $2.3 billion, expectations for the third film are enormous. Cameron isn’t predicting failure, but he is realistic: if the next installment doesn’t perform at the right level, it could close the curtain on his long-running cinematic universe. Speaking on The Town podcast, Cameron shared his candid thoughts about the franchise’s future: “I have no doubt in my mind that this movie will make money. The question is, does it make enough money to justify doing it again?” A Possible Goodbye After 30 Years in Pandora While fans would be heartbroken to lose the next two planned movies, Cameron admitted he’s surprisingly at peace with stepping away. After spending decades in the world of Pandora —first drafting the concept i...

Now, for the first time in years, he’s revealed the one sequel idea that could convince him to return as Kevin McCallister . During his A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin event, the actor admitted that he’s not completely closed off to the idea of a comeback—if the story feels right. “I wouldn’t be completely allergic to it... It would have to be just right.” Culkin hasn’t reprised his role in any official sequel since 1992’s Home Alone 2: Lost in New York , though he has appeared in two nostalgia-filled commercials in recent years. But this time, he shared his own pitch for a meaningful continuation of Kevin’s story. Culkin’s Emotional Sequel Pitch: A Father, A Son, and New ‘Traps’ Instead of repeating the classic break-in formula, Culkin imagines a more heartfelt take on the franchise—one rooted in family and redempt...
