It looks like Jennifer Hudson could see another Oscar in her future!

The singer and award-wining actress has been tapped to play Aretha Franklin in an upcoming biopic about the iconic singer’s life.

According to Deadline, the announcement was made during Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party on Saturday night. As Davis introduced the Oscar and Grammy winner to sing a couple songs on stage, he also told the audience of Jennifer’s new role.

So how does the Queen of Soul feel about this casting news?

Pretty good, since she hand-picked Jennifer herself. So it’s ALL Aretha approved!!!
