Eddie Murphy left Twitter on fire after he apparently tweeted “Coming to America sequel?” before deleting his account.
While many speculated that it may be a hoax, TMZ reports that there actually is a sequel in the works.
via TMZ:
“Sources close to Eddie tell us he’s in the early writing stages of the project. No word yet on which original cast members would return because he’s still tinkering with the plot. So, it really could happen, but the mystery is how it ended up on Twitter.
The Wednesday night post simply said, “Coming to America sequel?” with a pic of Vanessa Bell Calloway in character. Eddie’s camp tells us he doesn’t tweet. Our sources say he has a social media team to do that stuff.”
Well, Twitter had some mixed feelings about the new announcement seeing how many remakes tend to fall short

I'm down but unfortunately the movie would only be 20 minutes long because Akeem was denied entry at the airport for "reasons".
