Despite the almost 33-year gap between between films, Amazon Prime’s first shots of the long-awaited sequel Coming 2 America shows that little has changed for Akeem (Eddie Murphy) or the resplendent land of Zamunda. The streaming platform released a few images from the forthcoming film, each one radiating with familiarity for those who are fans of the first, similarly-named film. With most of the original cast returning to the kingdom, the new chapter appears to bring many of the beloved elements of the original comedy back for a new audience, including the Queens barbershop that allowed Murphy to flex his handle on multiple in-scene characters for the first time.
