Irish people left confused as Mrs Brown appears in trailer for hotly-anticipated Netflix film

Brendan O'Carroll will feature as Mrs Brown in the hotly-anticipated A Madea Homecoming when it hits our screens next month.

But the appearance of his iconic Dublin character seems to have caused confusion among Irish fans looking forward to the Tyler Perry film.

Perry will reprise his role as Madea, who is known for being an elderly and tough woman based on Perry’s mother and aunt, in the flick which will focus on the college graduation of Madea’s great-grandson.

Perry has played Madea in 11 plays, 11 films as well as donning the drag for some TV appearances over the years.

And now we have a trailer for the new film, which will land on the streaming service on February 25.

O'Carroll's wife Jennifer Gibney will also feature as Cathy Brown.

But some people have been left less than impressed after spotting the comedian in the trailer.

One person tweeted: "What the f**k is Mrs Brown doing here?", with a second adding: "How did Mrs Brown from Mrs Browns boys end up in this film! Guessing Tyler Perry has never had to endure an episode"

A third questioned: "Who on earth wanted a Madea and Mrs Brown crossover?"

However, others were excited to see what short of shenanigans Agnes and Cathy get up to.

One user said: "I am so excited I can’t wait to see what Mrs brown and Cathy are up to"

A second replied: "How exciting!!! Love Madea and Mrs Brown too! Can’t wait to see it!"

While a third said:"Madea vs agnes brown, a match made in a psychiatric ward. I hope Heathrow is included"
