He's now a king: after 32 years Eddie Murphy is back as the "Prince of Zamunda".
The sequel to the cult comedy, originally called "Coming 2 America", will be released on Amazon Prime Video in March.
On Thursday, the streaming service posted the first photos of the film, including Murphy, 59, as a dressed up prince from the fictional African kingdom of Zamunda.
In the original 1988 film, Murphy played Prince Akeem, who travels to New York for a bride show.
He works as a cleaner at a fast food chain and falls in love with the boss's daughter.
With insane means he tries to win their hearts.
Directed by John Landis ("Blues Brothers").
In the sequel to director Craig Brewer ("Hustle & Flow"), Akeem travels to the USA to track down a long-lost son.
Arsenio Hall, 64, is back in the role of Akeem's best friend.
Wesley Snipes is to play as a new character a general who rules a neighboring state in Africa.
From the old line-up, Shari Headley and James Earl Jones are among others.
