Snipes has been cast as General Izzi, who rules a neighboring nation to Zamunda. Layne plays Akeem’s daughter.

Although the sequel will have plenty of newcomers, Coming To America fans will also get to see a few familiar faces. Arsenio Hall, James Earl Jones and Shari Headley are all set to reprise their roles from the original film, which was released in 1988.

Production for Coming To America 2 is scheduled to begin later this month. The movie is currently scheduled to debut on December 18, 2020.
