Austin Butler's Elvis has become available for UK viewers to watch on Prime Video.
The Baz Luhrmann movie was released back in 2022 to critical and commercial success, with Butler earning a BAFTA win and an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Elvis Presley.
Prime Video subscribers in the UK can now watch the movie for free after it was added to the service yesterday (July 30).

Elvis focuses on the rise of the late King of Rock and Roll, with Tom Hanks portraying his manager Colonel Tom Parker and Olivia DeJonge playing his wife Priscilla.
Following his BAFTA win last year for the role, Butler admitted that the victory was bittersweet after the death of Presley's daughter Lisa Marie in early 2023.

"It's been a really unimaginably tragic time, you know, and grief is a long process," he told press.
"So my heart and my love was with [the Presley family] always. I feel honoured to have been welcomed into the family. It's a bittersweet time."

Reflecting further on playing Presley, Butler admitted: "The feeling of standing on an international stage and looking out and looking down at the jumpsuit that I was wearing and realising there were certain moments where I was seeing the closest thing to what Elvis would have seen during his '68 Special or whatever that was and I miss it a lot.
"I miss that experience. I don't miss the terror. But I felt every day that the elation that you feel with that."
Before he was cast, Harry Styles was among those in contention to play Presley, with Luhrmann admitting he decided not to cast the 'As It Was' singer as he's "already an icon".
Elvis is available to stream now in the UK on Prime Video.
