Eddie Murphy is returning to one of his most famous roles.

On Thursday, Amazon released eight first look images from the upcoming film "Coming 2 America," a sequel to 1988's iconic comedy "Coming to America."

The film will follow Murphy's newly-crowned King Akeem of the fictional Zamunda as he travels to New York once again with his trusty sidekick Semmi, played by Arsenio Hall, per a release from the streamer.

The studio shared the first look images on Twitter, showcasing not only Murphy, 59, and Hall, 64, but also several other members of the cast, including screen icon James Earl Jones and Shari Headley.
