Los Angeles (AP) - On Thursday, the streaming service Amazon Prime Video posted the first photos of “Coming 2 America”, including Hollywood star Eddie Murphy (59) as the dressed up prince from the fictional African kingdom of Zamunda.
“Prince Akeem is back,” it said on Instagram, with the winking hint that it “only” lasted 32 years.
In the original 1988 film, Murphy played the African prince who travels to New York to watch the bride.
The direction was directed by John Landis ("Blues Brothers").
In the sequel to director Craig Brewer ("Hustle & Flow"), Akeem, now King, returns to the United States to track down a long-lost son.
Arsenio Hall (64) is back in the role of Akeem's best friend on board.
Wesley Snipes is to play as a new character a general who rules a neighboring state in Africa.
From the old line-up, Shari Headley and James Earl Jones are among others.
