Three generations of Shaft join forces in new image from the reboot

February 20, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Having started production earlier this month under director Tim Story (Ride Along), we now have a first official image from the upcoming Shaft reboot, which features three generations of Shaft: Richard Roundtree’s Detective John Shaft from the original 1971 movie, his nephew John Shaft II (Samuel L. Jackson) from the 2000 film, and the latter’s son, John Shaft Jr. (Jesse T. Usher). Check it out here, courtesy of fashion designer Aleks Musika on Instagram…

The new Shaft sees Usher’s FBI agent John Shaft Jr. forced into teaming up with his estranged, old school father on a case. The Netflix original is slated for release in June 2019 and also stars Alexandra Shipp (X-Men: Apocalypse), Regina Hall (Girls Trip) and Method Man (The Deuce).
