Longtime fans of Jennifer Hudson know before she traipsed across the ‘American Idol’ stage (and later GRAMMY and Academy Award stages) she first showed off her vocal chops on Disney cruise line productions of ‘Hercules.’
Fast forward a few decades later, the 39-year-old – currently raking in critical acclaim aplenty for her stunning portrayal of Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin in the biopic ‘Respect’ (in theaters now) – is looking to put on another crown by reprising her role as the lead muse, this time for Disney’s recently announced live action remake of the animated ‘Hercules’ (1997).

Hop inside to hear her wishlist for the movie’s cast – which includes fellow GRAMMY winner Ariana Grande and award-winning actor Michael B. Jordan.
