During a Friday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Coming to America 2 star discussed the upcoming sequel to the 1988 comedy saying he “couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.”

“A lot of people have this expectation, like people would say to me when they found out I was doing it, ‘Don’t f— that movie up.’ So we’ve gone above and beyond what anybody would think. I’m really, really happy with it.”

Per Entertainment Weekly, Murphy is of course playing Prince Akeem again, but he will be reviving all of the other characters that he played in the original. Arsenio Hall, James Earl Jones, Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan, and Wesley Snipes round out the cast.
