Eddie Murphy's Akeem is back in search of his heir in the first teaser trailer for Coming 2 America.

The trailer takes fans back to Zamunda as James Earl Jones' voice fills us in on the film's central plot: with King Jaffe Joffer's health failing him, he reminds Akeem that he will soon be King of Zamunda. However, the throne is passed to a male heir, which is how we find out that Akeem has a son back in America that must be found. Akeem tells Semmi (Arsenio Hall) to prepare the jet so they can go back to America, with Semmi responding with an emphatic, "Oh hell no, your majesty!"
