Coming 2 America Sets Up A Better Story For Coming To America 3
Coming 2 America rehashed some of the same plot threads of the original film. However, it sets up a more unique plot for a potential third film.

Coming 2 America sets up a better story for Coming to America 3. Thirty years following the events of Coming to America, the sequel picks up with Prince Akeem as he transitions into his role as king. He returns to Queens, New York after discovering he has a son, Lavelle, who is now the heir to the Zamundan throne. However, while Coming 2 America is largely focused on retreading the same story beats as its predecessor, it does lay the groundwork for a more original story in a potential third film.

Coming 2 America spends an inordinate amount of time rehashing the events of the first film. This is showcased through flashback scenes, a retelling of Akeem’s story from the royal hairdresser Mirembe, and a few callbacks to the original film’s jokes. In the case of Lavelle, his journey includes the same realizations Akeem has in Coming to America in that he chooses to marry for love rather than obligation. And, while Coming to America 3 is currently not in the cards and has not been confirmed, there are quite a few ways the story could branch out, one that could be far more unique in execution and is already strengthened by the setup in the second film.
