Coming 2 America is a 2021 American romantic comedy film that serves as a sequel to the 1988 film Coming to America starring Eddie Murphy in various roles and directed by Craig Brewer, from a screenplay by Barry W. Blaustein and David Sheffield, the original writers, and Kenya Barris, and a story by Blaustein, Sheffield, and Justin Kanew, based on characters created by Murphy.

Following King Jaffe's funeral and Akeem's ascension to the throne, he and Semmi return to Queens to find his illegitimate long-lost son, using a sketch Baba has provided.

Reuniting with the barbershop gang they befriended many years earlier in their neighborhood that went through gentrification, head barber Mr. Clarence recognizes the picture as Lavelle Junson, a ticket scalper who hustles outside of Madison Square Garden.

Upon his return home, Akeem changes the royal succession by allowing his daughter Meeka to ascend to the throne upon his death, Lavelle is made an ambassador to the United States, and General Izzi has opened Nexdoria for a peaceful political and trading relationship with Zamunda.

The film concludes with a grand party at the royal palace to celebrate Lavelle and Mirembe's marriage, and including the barbershop gang from Queens as special guests and a performance of the song "We Are Family" from Sexual Chocolate where Reem and Randy Watson are cousins.

[64] Cassie Da Costa of Vanity Fair reviewed the film unfavorably, writing that it is "startling in its utter incompetence" and "uses half-baked internet-era discourse as a substitute for meaningful or even entertaining cultural commentary".

[66] Peter Debruge of Variety said "For the most part, Coming 2 America falls back on familiar punchlines, serving up nearly word-for-word repeats of amusing bits from the original, but they don't necessarily play the same in this context.

"[68] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle praised Eddie Murphy's performance, saying, "When he brings his dramatic capacities to comic roles, he's really at his best and most original.

"[69] The film garnered controversy due to a scene that depicted a date rape towards an unconscious male in a humorous fashion with many viewers taking to Twitter to protest it.
