Priyanka Chopra joins Cena and Elba in explosive global thriller Heads of State, streaming July 2 on Prime Video

Heads of State to Premiere Globally on Prime Video July 2, 2025

Prime Video has officially announced the global premiere of its upcoming action-comedy blockbuster Heads of State, set to release worldwide on July 2, 2025. The high-octane film stars John Cena as the U.S. President and Idris Elba as the UK Prime Minister — two powerful leaders with an equally powerful rivalry, who are forced to join forces to save the world from a dangerous global conspiracy.

Directed by Ilya Naishuller (Hardcore Henry, Nobody), Heads of State is a wild blend of explosive action and razor-sharp comedy, channeling the nostalgic energy of classic 90s buddy action comedies. With adrenaline-pumping stunts, globe-trotting adventures, and witty banter, the film is poised to be a must-watch for fans of high-stakes thrillers with a comic edge.

The star-studded cast includes Priyanka Chopra Jonas as MI6 agent Noel Bisset, alongside Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, Stephen Root, Sarah Niles, Richard Coyle, and Paddy Considine. This marks a reunion for Cena and Elba, who previously shared the screen in The Suicide Squad—but this time, they're allies... more or less.

Forced to rely on each other, the duo goes rogue with MI6’s Noel Bisset to uncover and take down a conspiracy that could change the balance of power forever.

The film will release exclusively on Prime Video in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.
