Netflix unveils the poster for Agent Elvis, an upcoming animated series that throws real-life rock star Elvis Presley into a spy thriller.
A new Netflix poster reveals an early look at the bizarre animated mashup series Agent Elvis. The project is the latest property to fictionalize the life of real-life rock star Elvis Presley, who rose to fame in the 1950s. His iconic songs include "Hound Dog," "Heartbreak Hotel," and "Can't Help Falling in Love," though in addition to his music career he had a stint in Hollywood that produced films including 1957's Jailhouse Rock and 1961's Blue Hawaii.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The official Netflix Geeked Twitter page celebrated Presley's birthday by offering a new look at Agent Elvis, which was formerly titled Agent King. The poster shows an animated young Elvis smirking and wearing a pair of sunglasses while brandishing a gun.
Some of the more unusual depictions of Presley include the Chris Columbus film Heartbreak Hotel in 1988, which dramatizes a legend about Elvis being kidnapped by a fan in 1972. Things only get weirder from there in projects including the animated short film "Scary Prairie," where Elvis fights monsters in order to save Marilyn Monroe.
Everything We Know About Agent Elvis So far, there has been no official release date announced for Agent Elvis. However, the fact that Netflix has started to promote it likely means it is coming in the next few months. Most details about the series are thin on the ground, but the Netflix synopsis for the series says Elvis will "trade a jumpsuit for a jetpack" when he is called upon to join a secret spy agency to defend America from evil forces.
