Grab your popcorn, as Prime Video has finally unveiled the trailer of its upcoming action-comedy Heads of State—a perfect blend of action, comedy, big-budget stunts and more.
Helmed by Hardcore Henry and Nobody director Ilya Naishuller, the film pulls together two unlikely allies: John Cena as a boisterous and outspoken U.S. President Will Derringer, and Idris Elba as the tightly wound British Prime Minister Sam Clarke. Despite their very public feud, the two find themselves pushed onto the same side when hit by a global threat that puts both their lives in jeopardy.

Pulled into the middle of this chaos is MI6’s top agent Noel Bisset, played by Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who is challenged with the impossible: keeping the feuding world leaders alive while trying to stop a high-stakes global conspiracy. A quintessential example of a smart, focused, and completely unfazed character.
As per the press release, the movie is described as an international thrill ride packed with adrenaline-pumping action and sharp humor. The film throws audiences to the edge of their seat with explosive moments. It blends high-energy set pieces and inventive stunts with a nostalgic flair, capturing the spirit and charm of classic '90s buddy action comedies.
The supporting cast packs just as much punch as the storyline, featuring Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, Stephen Root, Sarah Niles, Richard Coyle, and Paddy Considine in key roles. From emergency landings to motorcade mayhem, every moment in the trailer teases non-stop excitement wrapped in political satire.

The film also marks the on-screen reunion of Elba and Cena since 2021’s The Suicide Squad. However, this time they’re trading capes and chaos for diplomacy and danger. Both stars also serve as executive producers on the project.
Written by Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec, and Harrison Query—drawing inspiration from a story by Query—Heads of State strives to blend enthralling action with effortless banter seamlessly.
Heads of State premieres globally on Prime Video on July 2.
