The upcoming film will be produced by Paramount Pictures, New Republic Pictures, Eddie Murphy Productions, and Misher Films. The plot of the sequel to the uproarious comedy will follow the soon-to-be king of Zamunda (Eddie Murphy) who learns that he has a son that he never knew about in America. Once again, Prince Akeem (Murphy) and his right-hand man Semmi (Hall) set off to America to meet his son. Due to COVID-19, the film has been delayed in its release. Amazon Prime released some of the first photos from the film earlier today and also tweeted a gif from the previous movie.

It’s like if a member of the British royal family suddenly found out they had a child with somebody from America but Leslie Jones is straight up Queens, Brewer says to EW with a laugh. She suffers no fools and says what’s on her mind in a real colorful way, and yet she actually brings a lot of joy to the kingdom, especially to Lisa [Shari Headley], who is from Queens but hasn’t been back since she married Akeem. And so in a way Mary is a little bit of a breath of fresh air from home that reminds Lisa where she comes from.
