The new trailer for Hulu’s White Men Can’t Jump shows rapper Jack Harlow flexing his acting and basketball skills.
The “First Class” performer stars alongside Sinqua Walls as a pair of basketball hustlers, in a remake of the hit 1992 film by the same name.
The trailer shows Kamal (Walls) playing hoops in a bet to see if he can make more shots than Jeremy (Harlow). Jeremy wins the bet and tells Kamal he assumed he would beat the white baller because of his race. Kamal responds, “No, I assumed you couldn’t hoop because you were dressed like a white girl at Whole Foods.”

According to the official synopsis, the unlikely pair team up in hopes of winning $500,000 in a basketball tournament, eventually realizing along they have “more in common than they imagined possible.”
The cast also includes Teyana Taylor, Laura Harrier, Vince Staples, and Myles Bullock. Lance Reddick, who died in March, has a role in the film as well.
Director Ron Shelton’s original film became a sports movie classic and starred Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson and Rosie Perez.
The remake from 20th Century Studios is directed by Charles “Calmatic” Kidd II from a script written by Kenya Barris and Doug Hall.
White Men Can’t Jump (2023) begins streaming May 19 on Hulu.
