Coming 2 America — Official Super Bowl Spot

added: Sun, Feb 7th '21

Check out the official Super Bowl spot for "Coming 2 America," the long-awaited sequel to Eddie Murphy's classic 1988 comedy, which will be premiering next month in March on Amazon Prime Video.

Directed by "Dolemite Is My Name" helmer Craig Brewer, the sequel is set 30 years after the events of the original comedy. When he discovers that he has an illegitimate son, newly-crowned King Akeem Joffer, of Zamunda (Murphy) travels back to America to make contact.

Akeem's son is a happy-go-lucky New Yorker (played here by comedian Jermaine Fowler) who is shocked to learn that he is the next in line to the throne of Zamunda. Former SNL member Leslie Jones co-stars as the mother of Akeem's American son. Tracy Morgan also co-stars as the uncle. Wesley Snipes also appears as General Izzi, a zany yet dangerous military leader in Zamunda.

Arsenio Hall has also returned to play Akeem's best friend Semmi. And you can expect a lot of cameos, including the fan-favorite 'Coming to America' characters like barbershop owner Clarence, Reverend Brown, Morris the barber, and Sexual Chocolate singer Randy Watson.

"Coming 2 America" premieres on March 5th, only on Amazon Prime Video.
