Eddie Murphy’s Prince Akeem is heading back to the U.S. this time to find his son, not a bride in “Coming 2 America,” the long-awaited sequel to Paramount Pictures’ 1988 comedy fable.
Murphy, Arsenio Hall and the band of zany characters they played in the original film are all back in the new teaser trailer, which dropped Tuesday after photos from the film went public last week. The Amazon Prime Video follow-up again stars James Earl Jones and Shari Headley and features new faces including Leslie Jones, Teyana Taylor, Jermaine Fowler, Tracy Morgan, KiKi Layne and Wesley Snipes.
But given Tuesday’s teaser, it’s all about the numerous characters Murphy and Hall bring back to life in the new film particularly those infamous barbershop personalities who welcome back their foreign patrons with jabs only Murphy and Hall can absorb. (You’ll have to see them for yourself in the trailer above.)
