All five men are busy with their own projects/lives.

Styles is an actor and singer/songwriter, while Butler was on The Shannara Chronicles and will be seen in the new Tarantino flick Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

After appearing in Baby Driver Elgort will next be seen in Steven Spielberg's West Side Story.

Taylor-Johnson was in Avengers: Age of Ultron, while Teller landed a spot in the upcoming Top Gun sequel.

The Hollywood Reporter says all five actors have tested for the part of Elvis in the Warner Brothers vehicle.

The entertainment site adds that Presley's relationship with Parker is highlighted in the film, along with Presley's meteoric rise as a new sound in rock.
