All is set for Wesley Snipes debut performance in the 'Coming 2 America' franchise. He joins original cast members Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall for the developing sequel. The 1988 original film was stationed around Prince Akeem (played by Murphy) as a spoiled prince from Zamunda, who arrives in Queens, New York. Disguised as a commoner in the city, Akeem tries to find himself a bride. The developing sequel will follow Akeem's return to America in order to find his long-lost son. Snipes will play a new character, General Iziz, a man who rules a neighboring nation. December 18, 2020 has been eyed as release date for the sequel with productions beginning this fall.
