Give this man an Oscar! I was so skeptical about Austin playing Elvis and Baz Luhrmann's style, but the whole film was AMAZING!!! the sets, the acting, the cinematography, and the music was full on huge and STUNNING. I have got to see this movie again to take it all in! Austin is the next James Dean, tremendous actor!..he is going to be in huge demand, well done Mr Butler!👍👍

Yes Austin needs an Oscar......I will scream if he doesn't because I will know they are rigged.

OSCAR'S GALLORE FOR ELVIS THE MOVIE IS SENSATIONAL BRILLIANT AWESOME ARTISTIC FANTASTIC MOVIE IS SENSATIONAL

[@DanielRayRodriguezMovieReviews]

Absolutely completely agree with you. He would be perfect as James Dean. A few years ago I thought maybe Timothee Chalamet would be a great Dean but I think Butler is even more closer in raw talent and charisma. He seems to naturally have an old school hollywood style and acting range very similar to James Dean or a young Brando or young Deniro or. even more contemporary actors like Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio when they were young. I don't know, Austin Butler just naturally exudes Dean like charisma. Even some pictures of him at Cannes Film Festival were very reminiscent of Dean in the 1950s. I hope Hollywood gets on board and cast him quick in a James Dean biopic or a proper remake of James Deans 3 films. very soon

[@rosefandom285]

For me I think timothee chalmet is closer to River Phoenix and Leonardo Dicaprio in acting styles and looks whereas Austin has more of that masculine vibe that makes me think of Brad Pitt or Brando. Both Austin and Timothee are very talented and intense actors but their vibes are very different on screen which I think makes for a nice contrast. Austin is very powerful and strong whereas Timothee commands attention in very empathic and softer way.

[@donniedarko5641]

don’t come for timothée 🤨 both him and austin are amazing.

[@smurfette_blues7922]

@@donniedarko5641 Timothee is obviously a one of a kind actor, but sometimes roles fit others better than others and it has nothing to do with lack of talent or capability.

Elvis alone, made Austin Butler my third favorite actor. Denzel Washington being #2 and Andy Serkis being #1. I’ve been trying to figure out which future MCU project I could see him in and I finally realized the X-Men whenever we get there. The only problem is that there are quite a few characters I can see him as that it’s hard to narrow it down to just one (specifically Cyclops, Iceman, Angel, Pyro, and Gambit)

[@haliabrowne293]

PLEASE SKIP TO 2:37 AND LOOK AT HOW AUSTIN LOOKS HER UP AND DOWN!!! FULLY CHECKS HER OUT!

Now that we know he can do a convincing Southern accent I wonder how he’d do if he was Gambit in the MCU?

If they do this I wonder if they can use Austin Butler's Elvis in a Jackie Wilson story, Fats Domino, or a Louie Robinson (Jet Magazine) story.
