About Coming 2 America
Prince Akeem Joffer is set to become King of Zamunda when he discovers he has a son he never knew about in America – a street savvy Queens native named Lavelle. Honoring his royal father's dying wish to groom this son as the crown prince, Akeem and Semmi set off to America once again.
Directed by Craig Brewer, Coming 2 America leans on a strong ensemble — Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, Jermaine Fowler — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2021.
