The film will see John Shaft Jr. aka JJ seek help from his father to uncover the truth behind his best friend’s death that will lead them through Harlem’s heroin-infested underbelly. JJ’s a cyber-security expert with a degree from MIT, he also happens to be an FBI agent, so there’s bound to be some family tension as Shaft has his own agenda and is looking to settle a professional and personal score.
The film sees Jessie T. Usher take on the role of John Shaft Jr. Samuel L. Jackson will reprise his role as John Shaft, and Richard Roundtree will also appear as John Shaft. The film also stars Regina Hall, Alexandra Shipp, and Method Man,
