Previously, in Luhrmann’s Elvis cast - which also included Tom Hanks as the musician’s manager, Colonel Tom Parker - Priscilla Presley was played by Olivia DeJonge (who, coincidentally, also hails from Australia), and Austin Butler gave a portrayal of Elvis that earned him an Oscar nomination, and won him a Golden Globe.
