John Cena, Priyanka Chopra and Idris Elba
The upcoming Hollywood film 'Heads of State' premieres globally on Prime Video July 2, 2025. The film is an action-packed comedy about the U.S. President (played by John Cena) and the UK Prime Minister (played by Idris Elba), who must set aside their rivalry to thwart a global conspiracy and save the world - if they can work together. The film is a global adventure blending explosive action and sharp comedic banter that takes audiences on the run and for a thrilling ride. The film combines fast-paced action sequences and creative stunts with a heavy dose of nostalgia fit with all of the 90s charm of the golden era of buddy action comedies.
In the action-comedy Heads of State, the UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) and U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena) have a not-so-friendly and very public rivalry that jeopardizes their countries' "special relationship." But when they become the targets of a powerful and ruthless foreign adversary - who proves more than a match for the two leaders' security forces - they are begrudgingly forced to rely on the only two people they can trust: each other. Ultimately allied with the brilliant MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), they must go on the run and find a way to work together long enough to thwart a global conspiracy that threatens the entire free world. The film also stars Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid and Sarah Niles and is directed by Ilya Naishuller.

Billed as Air Force One meets Midnight Run, the film was written by Josh Appelbaum & Andre Nemec and Harrison Query, from a story by Query. This film is helmed by Ilya Naishuller, the filmmaker behind Hardcore Henry (2015) and Nobody (2021). The film also stars Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid and Sarah Niles. The film reunites John Cena and Idris Elba after The Suicide Squad - but this time, they're not trying to kill each other...probably.
