The actor continued to explain how much the song meant to feminism in another interview.

“I think that for Speechless I did feel the weight of the message of the song,” Scott told Digital Spy. “I think the message is so powerful, the idea that she’s not going to go speechless and you do have a voice and you should speak up against injustice.”

She continued: “Everyone can relate to the idea of being shut down. Did I feel the pressure? I think because it was new, you feel a bit of freedom to really make it your own, there’s not someone that’s gone before you. Ultimately, I was just really excited to make it feel raw. She’s angry in that moment.”

Speaking to the BBC, she also discussed the important of the film’s diversity. “I’m so proud of our cast, how diverse it is,” she said, “I think what I love is that we’ve been able to embrace so many different cultures in this movie. So many different types of people watching can take something that they recognise.”

Massoud, who plays Aladdin, also said he hopes that the film can do for Middle-Eastern and Asian communities what ‘Black Panther did for the African-American community’.
