Eric Bana will play Elvis Presley in a forthcoming biopic.

The Hulk actor will star in Elvis & Nixon, with Robin Hood's Danny Huston taking on the role of the disgraced US president, Deadline reports.

The film, cult actor Cary Elwes's first directorial effort, is based around a meeting the pair had in 1970, when Elvis paid a visit to the White House to ask the president to make him a federal agent at large in the war against drugs.

The legendary singer brought a number of gifts with him, including family photos and a Colt .45 pistol.

Elwes has written the script with Joey Sagal and Hanala Sagal.

A release date for Elvis & Nixon has yet to be announced.
