She’s shouting it out, for sure.
Like no one else can, Jennifer Hudson is bringing her signature powerhouse vocals to the forefront in the new teaser for the trailer for Respect, the upcoming Aretha Franklin biopic.
On Friday, MGM released the promo for the Liesl Tommy-directed feature film chronicling the life and legacy of the late, great Queen of Soul, who died Aug. 2018 at age 76.

The Academy Award and Grammy Award winner isn’t holding back her signature style of singing in the first look either.
The 40-second clip begins with Hudson, adorned in a sparkly gold gown, standing on a dark stage backlit by bright golden lights.
She is belting out Franklin’s legendary cover of Otis Redding’s “Respect”—in an Effie Melody White-style of singing. (The American Idol alum won raves in her film debut as the scene-stealer in the 2006 film adaption of Broadway’s Dreamgirls.)
