Tracy Morgan has joined Eddie Murphy in 'Coming 2 America,' Paramount's sequel to the popular 1988 comedy. Wesley Snipes, Leslie Jones and Rick Ross are among the film's other new cast members, while Arsenio Hall, James Earl Jones and Shari Headley are among the returnees. The new story sees Akeem, now set to become king, discovering he has a son he never knew about, a street-savvy Queens native named Lavelle. Honoring his father's dying wish to groom his son as a newly crowned prince, Akeem must once again return to America. Jones is playing the son’s mother, a woman who had a one-night stand with Akeem, leading to pregnancy. Morgan will play Jones’ brother, a hustler named Reem. Production is due to begin later this month on the project, which has a Dec. 18, 2020, release. Murphy is producing with Kevin Misher and Kenya Barris.
