Amazon Prime released the second official trailer to the upcoming Coming 2 America film. Already trending on the Top 10 YouTube videos, the trailer shows Akeem (Eddie Murphy) and his longtime buddy Semmi (Arsenio Hall) returning to Queens, New York to find his long lost son, the heir to the fictional African country Zamunda.
The sequel is full of unsuspecting twists. For one, the unlikely mother of this long lost child is Mary Junson, played by comedian Leslie Jones. It’s an unlikely, but funny match up for a Prince who carries himself with so much couth.
Second, moviegoers are introduced to Akeem’s daughter, Meeka (KiKi Layne), who is a heir that has her eyes set on retrieving the crown from her father. Yet, she runs into the obstacle of misogynistic and patriarchal enforced restrictions that won’t permit her to be the next reigning queen.
Then, there’s the insertion of General Izzi portrayed by the one and only Wesley Snipes, who appears to be Akeem’s hating nemesis. It’s all fun and games in this comedy that is sure to have several guest appearances and shocking twists.
Coming 2 America will premiere on Prime, March 5th. See the trailer below:
