As you know … Jennifer was reportedly hand-picked for this role by Aretha before she died in 2018. Seeing the Oscar winner on set … we gotta say, Franklin couldn’t have chosen better.
We’ve already seen Jennifer as a young Aretha, kissing her onscreen husband, Marlon Wayans, in November … and now we’ve got another look.
Bottom line … Jennifer ain’t gonna do you wrong when “Respect” hits theaters this summer.
