Akeem (Eddie Murphy) is back and taking on a new role in his royal country of Zamunda in a first look at Coming to America‘s sequel, the aptly titled Coming 2 America.
Amazon Prime Video unveiled several new images of the stars returning for the highly-anticipated film which is set to stream beginning Friday, March 5 in 2021. Following the events of the 1988 classic, Coming 2 America will see the newly-crowned King Akeem embark on a new adventure with his close friend Semmi (Arsenio Hall) as they return to Queens, New York.
Of the eight images released in several tweets, fans get a peek at James Earl Jones, reprising his role as Akeem’s father, King Jaffe Joffer. Akeem’s wife Lisa (Shari Headley) also features in the photos which also tease the return of the hilarious barbershop crew.
