Coming 2 America Comes To South Africa

Coming 2 America
Saturday 25 May 8PM

Dust off your McDowell's uniforms and prepare to return to Zamunda! The long-awaited sequel, "Coming 2 America," is finally gracing our local screens this Saturday, May 25th at 8PM. This hilarious follow-up to the 1988 Eddie Murphy classic promises side-splitting laughs and a trip down memory lane, all while introducing us to a new generation of royal Zamundans.

The film sees Prince Akeem (Murphy), now King Akeem of Zamunda, facing a mid-life crisis. Complicating matters further, Akeem discovers he has a son he never knew about in America. Honouring his father's dying wish to groom a male heir, Akeem travels back to Queens, New York, with his loyal advisor Semmi (Arsenio Hall) to meet his newfound son, Lavelle (played by South Africa's very own Nomzamo Mbatha).

Mbatha, a rising star known for his roles in "The Witcher" and "Coming of Age," brings his signature charm and charisma to the role of Lavelle. Fans can expect a hilarious culture clash as Lavelle adjusts to the opulent lifestyle of a prince, all while Akeem attempts to turn him into a king-worthy heir.

Of course, no "Coming to America" sequel would be complete without the iconic characters we know and love. Expect to see returning favourites like Queen Lisa (Shari Headley), Mary Junes (Vanessa Bell Calloway), and even the ever-scheming barber Reverend Jeremiah (Ralph Bellamy).

With a cast of comedic heavyweights both old and new, "Coming 2 America" promises to be a laugh-a-minute affair. This heartwarming story about family, identity, and finding your place in the world is sure to resonate with audiences of all ages. So, grab your popcorn, dim the lights, and get ready to return to Zamunda for another unforgettable adventure!
