Weekly Ketchup: Writers for Captain America and X-Men: First Class
Although Eddie Murphy isn't technically signed to star in a third Nutty Professor, the expectation is that his Sherman Klump character would return in this sequel, and Universal will work on getting Murphy to return once they have a script.

More on Sherman Klump
Description from Wikipedia:
Professor Sherman Klump (born November 27, 1961) is a fictional character portrayed by actor Eddie Murphy in Nutty Professor and Nutty Professor 2, based on the Julius Kelp character played by Jerry Lewis in the original film. Sherman is a jolly kind hearted science teacher at Welman College. Although this was the main character Eddie played he also played the part of the rest of Sherman's family, excluding his youngest nephew Ernie Jr, for obvious reasons..
Despite the weight difference between Eddie and Sherman there are small similarities between them, firstly age. In the first movie Sherman's age is revealed to be 35 which was the same age as Eddie in 1996 so he is presumed to be 39 in the sequel which was released in 2000. Secondly height, when Sherman drinks his fat reducing formula for the first time on a nearby computer screen his height is revealed as 5'10" which is roughly the same height as Eddie as according to IMDB he stands at about 5'9½ inches tall. Sherman Klump weighs 350 pounds.
In the second movie his kind personality is polluted by the Buddy Love gene in his DNA, causing him to occasionally say cheeky or insulting things to people without realizing. In an attempt to eliminate this, he uses a risky experiment to extract Buddy's DNA from his system, but this unfortunately results in Buddy manifesting as an independent entity while leaving Sherman gradually losing his intelligence due to the damage Buddy's loss has caused to his system. Eventually, he is able to reabsorb Buddy by using a powerful version of his new youth serum to regress Buddy to amniotic fluid, allowing him to 'drink' Buddy and regain his old intellect.
