In order to pay tribute to the 1971 film "Shaft", the film director and lead actor were invited to play guest roles in the film. The role of John Shaft played by Samuel L. Jackson was also positioned as the nephew of the old Shaft.
The image of John Shaft in the film completely inherited the old Shaft's mantle, and the director John Daniel Singleton specially selected Samuel L. Jackson, because he took a fancy to the appearance of his villain in films such as "Black Pursuit" .
In order to perform this movie, Samuel L. Jackson shaved a big bald head at the suggestion of director John Daniel Singleton, plus he left a shaved beard on his own.
Samuel L. Jackson didn't have much interest in performing the film at the beginning. He thought that the remake of "Shaft" was unnecessary, because Richard Lang's performance in the original film was unmatched. Later, when he learned that John Daniel Singleton was not going to make a new film for an old film, but to recreate it, he agreed to participate in the show .

Nick Fury, the initiator of the Avengers, vs. Batman, the initiator of the Justice League. In the end, Marvel defeated DC. DC is really dark. There are no black people.

The remake in the 1970s, Bell is the evil, Sage is the right... Speaking of Samuel Jackson, if you put him in the opposite position, he can display powerful charm and even rebel against the master like in Quentin's works. But if he is promoted to lead the square alone, even if he is still accompanied by a maverick cynical character, he will not be able to make the film stand out like his contemporaries Washington and Smith. Jackson still has too strong a "bad" background, and lacks the necessary justice and passion dimension of the main melody blockbuster male protagonist. At this point, he is a bit like Zhao Wenzhuo.
