Who plays Elvis in the new movie?

Austin Butler plays Elvis Presley in the Elvis film. Butler beat out Ansel Elgort, Miles Teller, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Harry Styles for the part of Elvis Presley.

Elvis will be released in theatres on June 24, 2022. It will also be available to stream for 45 days following its theatrical release on HBO Max.

Austin is most known for his roles in the television shows Switched at Birth, Ruby & the Rockits, The Carrie Diaries, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and The Shannara Chronicles.

After filming began in early 2020, Luhrmann praised Butler’s performance in the part, which would be difficult for any actor to play. “I always avoid jumping in and announcing the job we’re doing before we execute it,” the Australian filmmaker told Deadline in March 2020.

“During the testing process, his commitment, his transforming talents from the young Elvis to beyond, he had been performing so very brilliantly.” “He was fantastic. There was a lot of excitement and energy in the cast and crew about the show we were going to shoot.”
