As previously reported, Trevor Jackson (American Crime, Grownish) will star as Youngblood Priest in the remake of Super Fly, and there are a few familiar faces joining him for the ride.

Director X confirmed the news on Instagram, also revealing Jason Mitchell (Straight Outta Compton, The Chi), rapper Future, Lex Scott Davis (Toni Braxton: Unbreak My Heart) part in the production.

Future has some big shoes to follow, as he will curate the soundtrack, following in the footsteps of legendary songwriter and musician Curtis Mayfield, who composed the original soundtrack.
