Irish comedian Aisling Bea has filled the shoes of Catherine O'Hara as the mother of a boy left home alone in a new Disney Plus reboot.
O'Hara previously starred in the first and second Home Alone films as Kate McCallister, the mother of a boy left alone in his family house who must fend off notorious burglars.
Bea's star has been on the rise over the past couple of years, particularly since winning a Bafta Award for Breakthrough Talent for her work on Channel 4 comedy, This Way Up.
The talented comedian and actress has donned an English accent for the role, with some Twitter users uncertain about whether she's pulled it off.
I didn’t know that Aisling Bea was in the home alone reboot, really felt weird hearing her with an English accent in the trailer though.

After years of hearing terrible Irish accents in films, it's only fair that Aisling Bea does a dodgy English one in Home Alone, give them a taste of their own medicine

I'll probably only watch the new Home Alone film just because Aisling Bea is in it.#JeremyVine

The newest reboot will be the sixth Home Alone adventure film, with the latest one released in 2012 to poor reviews.
