19 years have pbaded since the last Tree The sequel saw Samuel L. Jackson take the lead role as the nephew of the iconic hero of the 70s blaxploitation of Roundtree. And the last Tree The film follows this tradition of bringing the series back into a long-awaited sequel centered on the new family member, this time performed by Jessie T. Usher. Usher plays JJ, aka John Shaft Jr., a cybersecurity expert and a graduate of MIT, who can only resolve his best friend's untimely death through an old school tactic taught by his father and grand-uncle.

We had a first glimpse of the three generations of Shaft united in an image published in December, but it is different to see them in action together. The three men may seem extremely different, but Jackson says that they share a few more things in common than a last name. "He's still cynical, beefy but fair, well dressed, with the right lining," Jackson said. "All of these things work to make someone cool between generations. It's sustainable. We do not have many heroes, so we stick to the ones we have. "

Alexandra Shipp (X-Men: Apocalypse) Regina Hall (Hate U Give), and Cliff "Method Man" Smith also star in Tree.
