The third sequel to Ayo Makun’s much anticipated movie, Merry Men 3: Nemesis, is packed with action and adventure. Much so is its engaging dialogue and comic strips as snippets of the title reveals. The new sequel which premiered in cinemas nationwide yesterday comes after a four-year wait since the last one in 2019.
Merry Men 3: Nemesis has since the announcement of the theatrical debut and release date triggered anticipation among fans of the comedian/actor and Nollywood buffs. The first installment of the successful franchise Merry Men: The Real Yoruba Demons explored the lives of four of Abuja’s most eligible and notorious bachelors, their thriving businesses, fast cars, homes, and women.
With a mix of love, family and friendships, the ‘Merry Men’ struggle to keep it all together. This is much of what the second sequel Merry Men 2: Another Mission (2019) also followed and much more of it in the latest sequel, Merry Men 3: Nemesis which continues the original story. “Make sure you are buckled up for another hilarious and action packed adventure!” AY promises prior to the premiere.
Described as the ultimate crime thriller, Merry Men 3 features an ensemble of sterling cast including Sam Dede, Francis Onwochei, Ufoma McDermott, Nadia Buari, and Caroline Hutchings with Chidi Mokeme in the lead. The blockbuster movie sees the return of AY Makun, Ramsey Nouah and Williams Uchemba. Merry Men 3 is directed by Moses Inwang and produced by Darlington Abuda.
