Henson and Terrence Howard.
The preview clip gives viewers a glimpse of the pair in their youth, with a throwback scene of a teenage Cookie and Lucious meeting for the first time, as played by Ajiona Alexus and Jeremy Carver respectively.
In the trailer, Cookie addresses the undeniable bond that she and Lucious share both romantically, musically, and professionally, telling him, “When I first saw you rap, it changed my life.”
