‘Heads of State’ Trailer: John Cena and Idris Elba Fight for Their Lives

The Suicide Squad‘s John Cena and Idris Elba reunite for Heads of State, a buddy action comedy that finds the duo playing the US President and UK Prime Minister. The two-minute trailer shows what begins as an adversarial relationship transforms into a formidable team after they’re attacked and forced to run for their lives. Thankfully, Priyanka Chopra Jonas shows up to keep them safe from killers … and themselves.

The film also stars Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, Stephen Root, Sarah Niles, Richard Coyle, and Paddy Considine. Per Prime Video: “The film is an action-packed comedy about the U.S. President (Cena) and the UK Prime Minister (Elba), who must set aside their rivalry to thwart a global conspiracy and save the world — if they can work together.”

Directed by Ilya Naishuller (Nobody), Heads of State will premiere on Prime Video on July 2, 2025.
