Then, almost 30 years later, Samuel L. Jackson donned the leather coat as his nephew, John Shaft II.
The upcoming Shaft film stars Jessie T. Usher (Independence Day: Resurgence) as the estranged son of John Shaft II, a cybersecurity expert who’s forced to team up with his estranged father and great uncle.
The film will bring together Roundtree, Jackson, Usher, and co-star Alexandra Shipp for an all-new case.
Now, Entertainment Weekly has a first look at the next installment of Shaft, including the newest member to their family tree.
