Norbit 2: Rasputia’s Revenge (2026) is a hilarious, outrageous, and over-the-top sequel to the 2007 comedy Norbit, bringing back the iconic characters that audiences loved to laugh with. With Eddie Murphy reprising his role as Norbit, Rasputia, and Mr. Wong, this sequel takes the absurdity to new heights as Rasputia seeks revenge in the most hilarious, heart-stopping, and chaotic ways possible.
The film picks up years after Norbit and Rasputia’s tumultuous relationship, where Norbit (played by Eddie Murphy) is now living a somewhat peaceful life, having married Kate (played by Thandie Newton), the woman of his dreams. Rasputia (also played by Eddie Murphy) has continued to live her life in the spotlight, but now that she has been dethroned as the dominant force in Norbit‘s life, she’s about to make a grand return.
Rasputia, now wealthy and more powerful than ever, sets her sights on making Norbit’s life miserable once again. The film introduces a brand new scheme that Rasputia concocts to not only reclaim Norbit‘s affections but also her dominance in the town. When she discovers that Norbit and Kate have started a new business and have found happiness, she decides to launch a plan for revenge that is both hysterical and heart-stopping.
The film centers on Rasputia’s schemes as she recruits a colorful, chaotic team to help her. Enter her brothers, Blue (played by Terry Crews) and Lester (played by Craig Robinson), two larger-than-life characters who are as equally eccentric as they are dangerous. Together, the trio embarks on a series of outrageous and laugh-out-loud escapades, from sabotaging Norbit‘s new business to creating chaos at every turn. Rasputia’s plot leads to a series of mishaps and comic confrontations with Norbit and Kate, who must fight back against the wacky schemes of the woman who once ruled their lives.
The dynamic between Norbit and Rasputia remains as dysfunctional as ever. Though Norbit is now happy with Kate, Rasputia refuses to accept this and uses her cunning, manipulation, and over-the-top antics to reclaim the attention she believes is hers by right. Eddie Murphy once again shines in his dual roles as both Norbit and Rasputia, bringing his signature humor, physical comedy, and outrageous personality to each character. The portrayal of Rasputia’s larger-than-life presence is a central comedic force of the film, with her no-holds-barred attitude clashing hilariously with the world around her.
The film also takes a deeper look at Rasputia’s motivations. While her antics are often comedic, the film explores why she acts the way she does. Underneath her tough, brash exterior is a woman who feels overlooked and unappreciated, which leads to her schemes. Her obsession with power and control over Norbit stems from her insecurities, making her a character that is simultaneously funny, frightening, and oddly relatable. Rasputia’s complexity adds depth to the film, making it more than just a series of slapstick comedy moments.
Kate, played by Thandie Newton, is more than just a supporting character this time. As Norbit’s wife, she takes an active role in stopping Rasputia‘s manipulations and restoring balance to their lives. While Rasputia battles for control, Kate brings the level-headedness needed to foil her schemes. The chemistry between Kate and Norbit is endearing, as they navigate their growing love amidst the chaos. They make a strong team in their fight against Rasputia‘s over-the-top tactics, showing that true love can overcome even the most absurd of obstacles.
The comedy in Norbit 2: Rasputia’s Revenge is as wild as ever. Expect laugh-out-loud moments of physical comedy, outrageous pranks, and zany antics that only Eddie Murphy can pull off. From Rasputia’s ridiculous costumes to her over-exaggerated reactions to every setback, the humor is unapologetically bold. The supporting cast, including Terry Crews and Craig Robinson, brings an extra layer of energy and comedy, playing Rasputia‘s bumbling but loyal brothers who seem to make every situation worse.
In addition to the laughs, the film also brings an element of redemption. As the final act unfolds, Rasputia comes to realize that her vendetta against Norbit and Kate has led her down a path of self-destruction. Through a series of humorous but heartfelt moments, she learns to let go of her obsession with revenge and embraces her true self. The finale brings a sense of closure for her character, offering a satisfying and emotional resolution to her story.
In terms of visuals, the film continues the colorful, exaggerated style that the Norbit franchise is known for. The set designs are big, bold, and full of energy, with exaggerated spaces that match the larger-than-life characters. The film’s use of bright, flashy costumes and exaggerated props adds to the fun, keeping the lighthearted tone consistent throughout.
In conclusion, Norbit 2: Rasputia’s Revenge (2026) is a hysterical, outrageous sequel that combines over-the-top comedy with heart and redemption. With Eddie Murphy‘s unforgettable performance as Rasputia and Norbit, and a strong supporting cast, the film delivers laughs, chaos, and a touching story about forgiveness and self-acceptance.
