Coming 2 America: Jermaine Fowler and Nomzamo Mbatha on Eddie Murphy and the Sequel

With director Craig Brewer’s Coming 2 America now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, I recently had the chance to speak with Jermaine Fowler and Nomzamo Mbatha about the long-awaited sequel. During the interview, they each talked about what the first Coming to America means to them, what the first few days of filing were like, what they “borrowed” from set, why they loved working with costume designer Ruth Carter, and more. In addition, they revealed what TV series they’d like to guest star on and what movie they’ve seen the most. In the sequel, Eddie Murphy’s Prince Akeem is living a happy life in Zamunda with his Coming to America sweetheart, Lisa (Shari Headley), and his three daughters. But when he finds out that he might have a son he didn’t know about living in New York City (Fowler), and that only a male heir can take over the Zamundan throne, Akeem and Semmi (Arsenio Hall) set off on a journey to America to discover the truth. The sequel also stars James Earl Jones, Wesley Snipes, Garcelle Beauva
