While Suing Granddaughter Riley Keough for $35M Will, Lisa Marie Presley’s Money-Hungry Mom Priscilla Also Cashing in on Elvis’ Legacy with New Netflix Series ‘Agent Elvis’

Priscilla Presley, the former wife of Elvis Presley, is set to feature in a new role in the upcoming Netflix show Agent Elvis. The animated series, co-created by Priscilla and John Eddie, follows the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, voiced by Matthew McConaughey, as he becomes a secret agent to fight against evil forces that threaten the United States.

In the trailer, Priscilla is seen kissing Elvis Presley in front of an altar after she successfully fights off an enemy. Her latest venture comes as she battles to gain control of Lisa Marie Presley’s trust.  However, a 2016 amendment to the trust put it in the hands of Riley Keough, but Priscilla’s attorney team filed a petition in Los Angeles in January that scrutinized the “authenticity and validity” of the 2016 modification.

Agent Elvis: Netflix’s latest animated series and Priscilla Presley’s role

Agent Elvis is a new animated series on Netflix that follows the legendary musician Elvis Presley, voiced by Matthew McConaughey, as he becomes a secret agent to fight against evil forces that threaten the United States. Priscilla Presley co-created the series alongside John Eddie, and several celebrities, including Kaitlin Olson, Johnny Knoxville, Niecy Nash, Tom Kenny, and Don Cheadle, will lend their voices to the show. The trailer shows Elvis being recruited into the secret government spy program and being tasked with stealing from the president.

Priscilla Presley will voice herself in Agent Elvis and will be seen in the series fighting off an enemy alongside Elvis before they share a kiss in front of an altar. Her latest venture comes amid a legal battle with Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter, Riley Keough, over control of Lisa Marie’s trust. Priscilla and her former business manager, Barry Siegel, were named as co-trustees in 2010, but a 2016 amendment put the trust in the hands of Riley Keough. Priscilla’s attorney team filed a petition in January that questioned the authenticity and validity of the 2016 modification, citing spelling errors and inconsistent signatures as issues that required further inspection.

Lisa Marie Presley’s trust: the ongoing legal battle and Priscilla Presley’s statement

Following Lisa Marie Presley’s death in January 2021, it was discovered that she had left control of her trust, which includes Elvis’ Graceland property and 15% ownership of Elvis’ estate, to her daughter, Riley Keough. However, Priscilla Presley and her former business manager, Barry Siegel, were named as co-trustees in 2010. A 2016 amendment put the trust in the hands of Riley Keough, but Priscilla’s attorney team filed a petition in January that questioned the authenticity and validity of the 2016 modification. The case is ongoing, and it remains to be seen who will ultimately gain control of the trust.

In a statement, Priscilla Presley emphasized her love for Elvis and her commitment to his legacy, saying,

“For anyone to think anything differently would be a travesty of the family legacy and would be disrespectful of what Elvis left behind in his life.” She continued, “As Elvis’ wife, and someone who knew him intimately, I can tell you that he would be devastated to know that there are those who are trying to exploit him and his name for their own personal gain. Elvis was a generous, kind-hearted person who always put his fans first, and it’s shameful that there are those who would try to tarnish his memory in this way.”

Priscilla also expressed her confidence in the legal system, stating,

“I trust that the courts will see through this baseless lawsuit and that justice will be served. Elvis’ legacy is too important to let it be sullied by the greed of a few individuals.”

She concluded her statement by thanking Elvis’ fans for their continued support and love for the King of Rock and Roll.
