‘Respect’ Trailer: Jennifer Hudson Becomes Aretha Franklin
Hopefully the answer is Jennifer Hudson, who plays Franklin in the upcoming biopic
Respect. Obviously she has the voice to pull off her classic songs like “Respect,” “Think,” and “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” all of which appear in the film’s new trailer.

Respect, the Aretha Franklin biography starring Jennifer Hudson, was released on May 19, 2021.
It looks like Hudson was born to play this role.
The trailer shows the Academy Award winner belting out Franklin’s classics including “Respect,” “Think,” and “(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman.”
The movie, the directorial debut of Tony Award-nominated Liesl Tommy, was filmed in Atlanta, GA and due in cinemas in the autumn of 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed back the opening night to Aug. 13, 2021.
