The series will see Matthew McConaughey play Elvis with other talented cast members such as Johnny Knoxville, Don Cheadle, and Tom Kenny. The show is inspired by the many speeches that Elvis gave about how he always wanted to be a comic book superhero. The singer-songwriter was always vocal about his wishes to suit up and fight evil forces. 

“That was why we made it, as opposed to doing a live-action thing or something, we specifically want to do animated,” offered co-creator John Eddie , and “also because, all due respect, Austin Butler did an amazing job and other people have done. I’ve been a big Elvis fan since I was a little kid and even as great as anybody does it, they can never capture Elvis’ [appearance]. He was such a beautiful man, he’s just crazy, and so we thought maybe through animation” 

Presley spoke about he she truly wanted to introduce Presley to the younger generations so they could appreciate him in a way that they understood and appreciated.

“I know that this is a dream come true for Elvis because this is really what he wanted to do. He wanted to be a federal agent, and for me, I’ve always wanted to give Elvis what he wanted and never really quite made it,” she said.

“He was a beautiful human being and a very talented human being, and I want kids to see who he really was in this because he really was, he wanted to be an agent. And now he is.”
