John Cena and Idris Elba Team Up Again for Explosive Laughs in Buddy Action Flick Heads of State!
Heads of State takes diplomacy, dropkicks it out of a helicopter, and never looks back. When sharp-tongued UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) and swagger-loaded US President Will Derringer (John Cena) turn their petty rivalry into a full-blown international meltdown, it’s not just awkward handshakes and side-eyes anymore—it’s world peace on the line. With global security unraveling faster than their tempers, the unlikely duo is forced to team up against a villain so over-the-top he makes Bond baddies look like mall cops. Throw in high-speed chases, international chaos, and an all-out wrestling match inside a tactical squad van, and you’ve got a buddy action comedy that’s as explosive as it is ridiculous. Elba and Cena reunite for Heads of State, bringing big biceps, bigger egos, and the biggest laughs of the year.

With their elite security teams taken out and no one left to trust, these two leaders, polar opposites in every way, must work together if they want to survive. Their only real shot lies with MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), a fierce and fearless operative who doesn’t have time for egos. Together, they go on the run, dodging danger at every turn while unraveling a global conspiracy that threatens the free world.

Also in the mix is Jack Quaid as a smooth-talking arms dealer who might have a hidden agenda, Carla Gugino pulling strings behind the scenes, and powerhouse performances from Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, and Sarah Niles. Directed by Ilya Naishuller, known for high-octane hits like Hardcore Henry and Nobody, this film is equal parts high-stakes action, explosive comedy, and international chaos.
Heads of State is produced by Peter Safran and John Rickard, with executive producers Marcus Viscidi, Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec, Idris Elba, and John Cena. Coming to Prime Video this July.
