10 Actors You Didn't Know Were Coming Back For Movie Sequels

Finally, a character who wasn't dead the last time we saw them (though judging by his son's recent disgrace and his own professional struggles, it seems original director John Landis' career most certainly is still very much in the grave).

Yes, the helmer of the 1985 original may be in no state to return, but star Eddie Murphy has confirmed he'll be gracing our screens as the hero of the upcoming Coming to America sequel.

Though knowing Murphy he'll also most likely return as half a dozen other characters while he's at it.

Flying high thanks to the success of last year's Dolemite Is My Name, Murphy is returning to two of the eighties roles which made him famous. As well as Netflix's upcoming Beverly Hills Cop reboot, he'll star as Prince Akeem in a sequel which (thank God) is using the inevitable, ingenious title Coming 2 America.
