While it has only been two weeks since director Baz Luhrmann announced Austin Butler will be taking on the role of the legendary "King of Rock and Roll" in the upcoming biopic, we can't help but wonder, who will play Elvis' wife, Priscilla Presley?
Celebrity gossip magazine The Blast asked the 74-year-old herself after they spotted her walking through LAX airport and if she got her way, she would want American singer-songwriter, Lana Del Ray, to take on the role.
"I like Lana," she simply responded when asked about the biopic.
Which makes total sense, because she is Priscilla's doppelgänger.
And it looks like Priscilla might get her wish!

According to Radar Online, the 34-year-old singer has been vying for the role and has even directly contacted Luhrmann about the casting.
As for Priscilla's opinion on Butler? When the reporter asked if he was the perfect choice she responded saying: "I don't know I'm sorry."
The film - which is set to begin filming in Queensland, Australia in early 2020 - will document the iconic singer's rise to fame, as well as his complicated relationship with his longtime manager, Colonel Tom Parker, who will be portrayed by Tom Hanks.
