Here’s the first trailer for Coming 2 America. It turns out Prince Hakeem (Eddie Murphy), who is about to become king, has a son in the U.S. that he never knew about. Akeem’s father (James Earl Jones), the current King of Zamunda has a final wish and that wish is to ensure his grandson is raised as the price he was meant to be. And so Hakeem and Semmi (Arsenio Hall) are headed back to Queens.
Please, please, please Eddie Murphy don’t mess this up. The original was an instant classic and still one of the funniest movies ever. Hopefully the sequel doesn’t tarnish that legacy. Also, anyone else bummed that Zamuda isn’t a real place? I wonder what country it’s based on and how much it would cost to go there and see it in real life because I’m ready. Look for Coming 2 America on March 5.
