Priscilla Presley will be voicing herself in a new animated series from Netflix, amid a rumored feud with granddaughter Riley Keough.
Agent Elvis is dropping on the streaming platform this month, following a cartoon version of the music legend being transformed into a super spy.
While the 77-year-old is playing herself in the series, Matthew McConaughey is taking on the role of the Jailhouse Rock singer.
In the first trailer, he is met by mysterious strangers, who tell him: ‘You were the cultural phenomenon. You started a revolution.
‘Who are you people, and what is all this?,’ he questions, to which they reply: ‘The chance to weaponize rock ‘n’ roll.’
Agent Elvis commands a star-studded cast, including Don Cheadle, Johnny Knoxville, Niecy Nash, Ed Helms, Christina Hendricks, Kieran Culkin, Simon Pegg, Gary Cole and many more.

In one scene, Priscilla, who also serves as executive producer, gets in on the action as she launches a kick, before kissing Elvis.
‘It’s groovy, don’t you think?,’ she asks.
Agent Elvis lands on Netflix on March 17 and the official synopsis reads: ‘In the series, 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.’

The series was initially announced in 2019, with Priscilla telling Hollywood Reporter at the time: ‘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.’

The trailer comes after a tough time for the famous family, following the death of Lisa Marie Presley at the beginning of this year.
The singer, daughter of Priscilla and Elvis, died on January 12 at the age of 54, and was laid to rest at Graceland shortly after.
Following her loss, the actress contested the validity and authenticity of her daughter’s will, after a ‘purported 2016 amendment’ to Lisa’s Promenade Trust named her children – Riley and Benjamin – as co-trustees, removing Priscilla and her former business manager Barry Siegel.

She is challenging the amendment, alleging that there are ‘many issues surrounding the authenticity and validity’, including the misspelling of her name.
As well as this, she argued that the amendment was never delivered to her during Lisa Marie’s lifetime, which is under the terms of the Trust, and that her daughter’s signature ‘appears inconsistent’ on the paperwork.
In a new turn, it has been claimed that Riley and Priscilla are ‘no longer talking’ following the update.
The Daisy Jones actress is said to be ‘heartbroken’ by the row, with an insider telling Entertainment Tonight: ‘It has been a very tense and heart-breaking few weeks for both Riley and Priscilla.’

‘Riley has been mourning the loss of her mother and is heartbroken to have to deal with a trust dispute with a family member.
‘Priscilla is adamant that she has a valid case and that she will prevail in court. Riley and Priscilla aren’t communicating at this time.’
Another source added: ‘They are both gearing up for court, but Riley would prefer to settle this dispute privately.’
Agent Elvis is released on Netflix on March 17.
