Multiple outlets confirm that the forthcoming feature about the King’s journey from dirt poor to musical icon has tapped The Society actress, Olivia DeJonge, to star as Priscilla. 

DeJonge will star opposite Austin Butler, who is set to play Elvis and alongside Tom Hanks as the King’s manager, Colonel Tom Parker.

“Olivia is capable of manifesting the complex depth and presence that has made Priscilla Presley an icon in her own right,” Luhrmann said. “She’s an extremely talented young actor and the perfect counterpoint to Austin’s Elvis.”

Luhrmann co-wrote with Craig Pearce. The film is to shoot early next year in Queensland, Australia and is set to hit theaters October 1, 2021.

The streaming giant came out with some big news on the 42nd anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death, announcing that it has ordered a brand new adult animated action-comedy series from no other than Priscilla Presley. 

Per the official description, in Agent King, “Elvis Presley trades in his white jumpsuit for a jet pack when he is covertly inducted into a secret government spy program to help battle the dark forces that threaten the country he loves — all while holding down his day job as the King Of Rock And Roll.”

Priscilla stated, “From the time Elvis was a young boy he always dreamed of being the superhero fighting crime and saving the world! Agent King lets him do just that. My co-creator John Eddie and I are so excited to be working with Netflix and Sony Animation on this amazing project and getting the chance to show the world an Elvis they haven’t seen before.”

Mike Arnold will serve as showrunner. Presley and Eddie are co-creators as well as executive producers. Jerry Schilling joined the project as a consultant, and designer John Varvatos will create Elvis’s wardrobe for the show.
