Merry Men 3 in the pipeline

A new edition of Nigerian movie franchise Merry Men is set to premiere, movie director Richard Ayodeji Makun has revealed.

Makun – popularly known as AY – said: “We are coming back with Merry Men 3.”

The movie is set in Abuja and is a sequel to the previous editions: Merry Men: The Real Yoruba Demons and Merry Men 2.

The first movie followed four rich guys (aka the Merry Men), who seduce powerful women, get contracts from the political elite, steal from the rich, give to the poor and make out with the hottest women in town.

In the second instalment, the Merry Men were pitted against a gang of not-so-fearsome, bike-riding, leather jacket-wearing assassins who help an indicted government official escape justice in exchange for their kidnapped loved ones.

While the plot of the third film remains under wraps, the cast includes Ramsey Nouah, William Uchemba, Regina Daniels, AY, Nadia Buari and Sam Dede.
