Ironically, Elordi, 27, also played Elvis in Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla” movie last year. Butler’s role as the King of Rock and Roll earned him an Oscar nomination in 2023. He was mocked on social media for spending three years transforming into Elvis and acting like the late star for the movie.

A new American Psycho film is in development, and movie lovers are not impressed with the star tipped to play its lead. The film is to be directed by Luca Guadagnino, the Italian film director behind some of the industry’s most talked about movies recently, including Challengers and Queer.

Austin Butler is our new Patrick Bateman, Variety reveals, as the project from Challengers' Luca Guadagnino finds its lead despite rumors previously swirling that Jacob Elordi would take on the role made famous by Christian Bale in 2000.
