Shaft is back.

The reboot of the franchise, which dropped a trailer on Wednesday, features the tagline "More Shaft than you can handle," and with good reason.

Shaft, as the next chapter is called, features the original 1971 Shaft played by Richard Roundtree, as well as Samuel L. Jackson from the 2000 iteration.

The latest addition to the family is John "JJ" Shaft III, played by Jessie T. Usher of Creed II and Independence Day: Resurgence fame. If you're wondering if they're all going to team up and be one badass group of Shafts, you're damn right.

Shaft is out in cinemas on Jun. 14.
