Reportedly, the new plot 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 new crowned prince, Akeem must once again return to America.” Sounds promising. Back in April, Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall met with Oscar-award winning Costume Designer Ruth E. Carter for preliminary fittings for the sequel.
