The King is returning the big screen in a big way next year.
Baz Luhrmann’s untitled Elvis Presley biopic is singing to a new tune.
Warner Bros. announced Thursday that the film will now debut in theaters on June 3, 2022, instead of Nov. 5, 2021.
The change means that the movie may get a traditional theatrical run, versus being one of the 2021 Warner Bros. titles scheduled for a day and date release in cinemas and on HBO Max.
Newcomer Austin Butler is starring in the biopic as Presley with Maggie Gyllenhaal cast as Gladys Presley, the singer’s mother. Tom Hanks stars as Col. Tom Parker, the manager who controlled every aspect of Presley’s life with Olivia DeJonge as his wife Priscilla.
The 21-second clip gives fans their first look at Butler’s Elvis, hinting at the singer’s slicked-back hair and characteristic outfits, which include a black leather jacket and white jumpsuit.
