Eddie Murphy is coming to America. Again.
The Dreamgirls actor rose to prominence in 1988 with the comedy Coming to America, which was based on an original story he created.
Murphy played the prince of a fictional African country who comes to the United States in search of a bride.
It appears as though that marriage might have not worked out as a sequel has now been announced.
Black-ish creator Kenya Barris, is penning the script, with the 57-year-old Murphy set to reprise his role as Prince Akeem Joffer.
“After many years of anticipation, I’m thrilled that Coming to America 2 is officially moving forward,” Murphy said in a statement. “We’ve assembled a great team that will be led by Craig Brewer, who just did an amazing job on Dolemite [Is My Name], and I’m looking forward to bringing all these classic and beloved characters back to the big screen.”
The sequel will reportedly revolve around the Prince’s return to America to seek out his long-lost son and heir.
We hope he gets his visa.
