We told you last week that the film’s plot hinges on Prince Akeem returning to Queens to find the son he never knew existed (played by Jermaine Fowler). We’re glad to see Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall back together and that we’ll get to see some of the original characters Murphy brought to life in the Queens barbershop as well. We’re still trying to piece together other little bits and pieces from the production stills though.

How do you think Teyana Taylor and Wesley Snipe are factoring into this film? We love the costumes btw, Ruth E. Carter worked her magic again.
