According to The Hollywood Reporter, Barry Blaustein and David Sheffield, the writers behind the original 1988 classic, will be returning to write the sequel, which is still in its early stages. Additionally, Kevin Misher is reportedly set to produce the sequel.

There is very little news about the project thus far, though as production continues, we’re expecting to see casting news, such as whether or not Eddie Murphy will be returning to reprise his role as Prince Akeem.
