Given the ubiquitous pop cultural figure he became, it’s not hard to imagine that an animated reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue with regards to’concerning’with respect to Elvis Presley fighting crime might possess’own’nurse been a vintage piece of kids’ breakfast cartoon fun back in the day. But strap in – because the incoming Agent Elvis is actually going to be a wild, irreverent, bloody ride in/with regard to’concerning’regarding grown-up audiences, taking the King Of Rock n’ Roll (here voiced by none other than Matthew McConaughey) and pitching him into all kinds of crazy historical expedition s.###“We follow this Forrest Gump-type timeline, where Elvis is involved in eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullything that’s ever happened in history,” John Eddie (who co-created the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue along with Priscilla Presley herself) tells Empire. And one of those expedition s takes him into Once Upon A Time In Hollywood territory, facing off against Charles Manson.

That’d be one way to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure ‘em all shook up.###Read Empire’s full Agent Elvis story in the Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse issue, on sale Thursday 16 March.
