Agent Elvis Teaser Trailer Reveals Matthew McConaughey as the Rock Star By Day and Superspy By Night.

Sony Pictures Animation and Netflix have released the teaser trailer for their animated series Agent Elvis. The series was previously titled Agent King and re-imagines Elvis as an undercover spy in the new action comedy adult animation. The new trailer not only shows the classic style of the King of Rock and Roll but also the voice behind the icon as Matthew McConaughey will bring the animated version of Elvis to life in the new animated series.

Check out Netflix‘s synopsis of Agent Elvis below:

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

One thing that Sony deserves credit for is the brilliant animation styles they have been able to bring to the screen. You don’t have to look far to see their experimental methods that have paid with films such as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Agent Elvis looks to be their next big animation as the studio that brought us the hit film Across the Spider-Verse looks to deliver some high-quality magic once again.

The series was created by Priscilla Presley, Elvis’ ex-wife alongside John Eddie. The series is executive produced by McConaughey, Kevin Noel, Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, Ben Kalina, Jamie Salter, Corey Salter, and Marc Rosen. Mike Arnold wrote the series and will also serve as showrunner with Fletcher Moules serving as supervising director and co-executive producer.

Presley shared a statement about the attitude behind the series, saying:

“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.”

John Varvatos served as consulting producer on the series and is also going to be custom designing Elvi’s wardrobe on the animated series which is not something you see often but with someone’s iconic style as notable as Elvis, this should come as no surprise. The embellishment of Elvis’ wardrobe will shine in the animation handled by Titmouse who also worked on hit series such as The Legend of Vox Machina.

Netflix did not reveal an exact release date for Agent Elvis but we do know that it will arrive next month.
