Jennifer Hudson sings a stunning rendition of 'Respect' in the first look at the upcoming Aretha Franklin biopic

. The film is set to open in 2020, although an exact release date has yet to be announced., on an empty stage, backlit in brilliant gold, singing “Respect” almost entirely a cappella — save for some backing vocals and a tension-building synth.

As Hudson hits the chorus, the word “Respect” lights up in big letters behind her, then she runs through the song’s iconic spell-it-out refrain., which will also star Forest Whitaker, Marlon Wayans, Audra McDonald, Marc Maron, Tituss Burgess, Saycon Sengbloh, Hailey Kilgore, Tate Donovan, Heather Headley, Skye Dakota Turner and Mary J. Blige., which is expected to premiere next spring.
