The trailer for Heads of State, the upcoming action-comedy starring Idris Elba, John Cena, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, has fans buzzing. The film, set to release on July 2, 2025, on Prime Video, follows two rival world leaders forced to team up to stop a global conspiracy. Fans are especially excited about Priyanka’s role as Noel Bisset, a sharp MI6 agent who steals the spotlight.
The 2-minute-46-second trailer introduces Sam Clarke (Idris Elba), the UK Prime Minister, and Will Derringer (John Cena), the US President, whose public feud threatens their countries’ alliance. When a powerful enemy targets them, they must rely on each other to survive. Priyanka’s character, Noel Bisset, steps in to protect them and help uncover the conspiracy. The film also features Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, and Sarah Niles.
Fans quickly praised Priyanka’s performance after the trailer dropped. One fan tweeted,
“Noel Bisset is a potential MOTHER y’all #PriyankaChopra.”
Another wrote,
“Priyanka Chopra Jonas, so proud, so excited, I can’t wait !!!!”
Some compared her role to her hit series Quantico, with a fan saying,
“Oh my!! It’s reminding me of Quantico.”
Others called it the “best trailer ever”, with one fan declaring,
“Pri steals the show.”
Heads of State is directed by Ilya Naishuller, known for Hardcore Henry (2015) and Nobody (2021). The film is described as a mix of explosive action and sharp comedy, bringing back the 90s buddy-action movie vibe. This marks the first reunion of Idris Elba and John Cena since The Suicide Squad (2021), where they played Bloodsport and Peacemaker.
The movie was filmed in London, Liverpool, Trieste, and Belgrade, with additional scenes shot in Serbia. The cast includes Richard Coyle, Clare Foster, Katrina Durden, and Aleksandr Kuznetsov. The script was written by Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec, and Harrison Query, with music by Steven Price.
Prime Video will exclusively stream Heads of State starting July 2, 2025. Subscriptions start at $14.99 per month, with discounts for students and government assistance recipients.
