As one of Eddie Murphy’s most popular films from the 1980s, Coming To America has achieved cult classic status thanks to its quotable lines, general silliness, and Eddie Murphy at his comic best. Now it’s time to throw some rose petals and rejoice like you would in Zamunda, as its sequel, Coming 2 America is about to be released.
Ever since it was announced that a sequel was being made with not just Eddie Murphy reprising his role (well, roles) but also Arsenio Hall, James Earl Jones and Shari Headley all returning, this has been perhaps the most anticipated movie release of 2021. And the best news for Aussie fans is that you can stream Coming 2 America on Amazon Prime Video from March 5, 2021.
What is Coming 2 America about?
Set years after the first movie, Prince Akeem Joffer (Eddie Murphy) is preparing himself to ascend to the throne of Zamunda as his ailing father, King Jaffe Joffer, prepares his son to become King. However, Akeem learns he has a son living in America, and as only a male heir can ascend the throne (Akeem and Lisa have daughters), Akeem, along with his confidante Semmi (Arsenio Hall), must return to America so he can find his son and prepare him for a future as King of Zamunda. Along with many of the original cast, this sequel includes new additions Wesley Snipes, Leslie Jones, Jermaine Fowler and Tracy Morgan. Check out the trailer below.
