Priscilla (2023) is a biographical film about the life and marriage of Priscilla Presley, based on her memoir Elvis and Me (1985). Starring Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi, the film was written, directed and produced by Sofia Coppola.
The promotional poster appears to feature a customized version of OPTI Excelsior Script, a typeface based on Palace Script.

Thanks for your contribution, Micaela.
If this indeed started with OPTI Excelsor Script, then the designers must have made various modifications to it. Neither of its two weights is a match. (Also, the OPTI fonts are not open source, and are better described as abandonware. They should best be avoided, for ethical as well as for technical reasons – see for example the broken connections in the resetting below. I’ve removed the bit about “open source”, to avoid spreading incorrect information.)
I don’t have a better ID to offer. Maybe the designers drew their own interpretation, based on the OPTI digitization – or on pre-digital material. I used the opportunity to flesh out our page for Excelsior Script: it’s the name used by Typefoundry Amsterdam for their 1906 version of the French Écritures calligraphiques or the German Künstler-Schreibschrift. What complicates the research is that these scripts exhibit differences between the various sizes of the original metal type.
