Eriq La Salle is not reprising his role of Darryl Jenks in Coming 2 America.
The award-winning actor best known for his 9-year run as Dr. Peter Benton on NBC’s beloved series, ER is far too busy working behind the camera to return for the highly-anticipated sequel that’s due out next year.
We sat down with the man who has turned his attention to executive producing and directing hit shows like NBC’s Law & Order SVU and Chicago P.D. during the network’s 5th annual Chicago press day.
Wesley Snipes snags a role on the upcoming ‘Coming 2 America’ sequel
“No,” he said he told a handful of journalists when asked if he would be reprising his role from the 1988 original. “I’ve already given you an answer. No.”
When the group was visibly disappointed, he elaborated.
“Straight to the point. I knew where you were going with it,” he said. “I’m a little busy right now …with this show.”
That may have been the understatement of the century considering the star now executive produces and often directs the hit drama series , Chicago P.D. from Dick Wolf. Helming the show is no small feat, especially with the crossover episodes he pulls off each year, fusing storylines from the networks other Chicago-based shows, Chicago Med and Chicago Fire.
“Our show is very different than Fire and Med. So the gratifying thing for us is everyone just telling their truth. This our storytelling in this universe, this is their storytelling and when you put them all together, you still have those elements. It’s really cool to co-exist in this universe but feel like you have your own individuality.”
Beloved stars from each series including Yaya Da Costa (Chicago Med), LaRoyce Hawkins (Chicago P.D.), Epatha Merkerson (Chicago Med), and Marlyne Barrett (Chicago Med) all join forces to deliver three incredible hours of television.
The shows constantly deliver compelling episodes that often tackle issues we’re facing in real life including racism, police brutality, corruption, and everything in-between.
“I get nervous about having responsibility. I think our responsibility is to write entertaining TV that people watch. How we try to do that is by writing honest TV, and I think in trying to be honest to what is going on in Chicago in 2019, you find yourself in these really interesting and sensitive topical areas,” he said. “If you do that truthfully you’ve got something that is exciting and entertaining even if people disagree or get upset. Hopefully people get upset. You’re really not doing your job if a certain part of the fan base isn’t shocked or outraged or upset.”

Coming 2 America went from a pipe dream to an A-list affair in no time.
The long-awaited, star-studded sequel will be directed by Craig Brewer and will feature all our favorites from the 1988 original…and then some.
The new story follows Prince Akeem, now set to become king, discovering he has a son he never knew about, a street-savvy Queens native named Lavelle. Honoring his father’s dying wish to groom his son as a new crowned prince, Akeem must once again return to America.
While we won’t be seeing Eriq La Salle in the sequel, plenty of famous faces have confirmed their participation including Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, Shari Headley, James Earl Jones, Wesley Snipes, John Amos, and so many more.
The film is being produced by Eddie Murphy, Kenya Barris and Kevin Misher and will hit theaters December 18, 2020.

Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta is the home of two sequels currently in production, with Murphy's Coming 2 America and the next installment in Smith and Lawrence's Bad Boys series, Bad Boys for Life.
I have faith in Murphy that it’ll be funny. He has more hits than flops.
Maybe he has a lost son from those dick cleaning bitches. Maybe one of them got knocked up before he got married and she went to America. Who know....

Wow, March 5th now... 
What happen to December 25th.
What happen to December 25th.
Wow, March 5th now...
Not a good sign, this makes me think the movie didn't come out as expected and needs some re-working.
Vertigo posted wonder woman 1984 December 25. No way can they compete with that movie.
Yes they can, two entirely different target audiences.
Also streaming is different than theatrical releases so these movies don't need to beat each other upon release since they're available on the app at anytime for mo cost.
Lastly even if that were a concern it wouldn't explain delaying to for close to three months.
Disney also releasing Soul on Christmas. Might as well wait and build the hype.
Ehhh well at least it has a release date, see it on BGOL cinemas if we're still here.
The hype has building since this movie was announced. Every time there was casting news, more hype.
As was stated earlier, this is streaming, not traditional box office face offs. Going to the movies is an event, you have to physically go there, wait in line either to enter or for concessions....you have to pay for tickets which are costing more and more. ($$)..concessions ($$). And if you go with kids (ie the Soul movie $$$$).
There is a time, physical and financial cost with theaters....which is why most people only go once a weekend / week.
With streaming....there is none of that.... You can stream Soul, put the kids to bed and watch WW84 or Coming 2.
You can watch Coming 2 Friday night and WW84 Saturday night or vice versa easily.
So if the objective strictly is to avoid a matchup ok,push it back a few weeks....but 3 months?!
There's something else going on....
What the hell did they push it back for? December would have been a great time to release this
Yea something is fishy. Push it all the way to March!?? You would want a holiday release for anticipated film like this.. Everyone will be home and streaming all day.
Compete? man its during the holidays and home streaming........ during a pandemic.. Aint no fucking "compete".. Everybody gonna be home watching all that shit.
Probably not. The December 18 release date was originally just for the US. The march enables an international release. So the time is being used on dubs and subtitles.
