Do you recall those lively buddy action comedies from the 90s? We sure do! Titles like Bad Boys, Rush Hour, and The Last Boy Scout evoke a strong wave of nostalgia in us. It appears that director Ilya Naishuller shares our fondness for this genre, as suggested by the trailer for the new action comedy on Prime Video titled Heads of State. In this film, stars John Cena and Idris Elba play two leaders of nations who need to put aside their rivalry to combat a global threat and save the world – if they can manage to collaborate. Frankly, it sounds like a classic buddy action comedy!
In the film “Heads of State,” the UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke, played by Idris Elba, and U.S. President Will Derringer, portrayed by John Cena, engage in an intense, public rivalry that strains their nations’ strong alliance. However, when they both become targets of a formidable foreign enemy who outmatches their security forces, they are reluctantly forced to trust each other. Accompanied by the skilled MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), they must evade capture and collaborate just enough to halt a worldwide plot that endangers global freedom.
‘Heads of State’ Combines Action and Creative Stunts
Experienced in the realm of action films, director Naishuller has also taken on roles behind the camera for movies like Universal’s Nobody (2021) and Hardcore Henry (2015). Critics praised Nobody, giving it a 84% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In his latest project, Heads of State, Naishuller mixes high-speed action scenes, innovative stunts, and a generous helping of nostalgia – a combination that should delight fans of the genre who enjoy big explosions and quick-witted dialogue between characters.
2024 was a bustling year for Cena, with him featuring in movies like “Argylle”, “Ricky Stanicky”, and “Jackpot!”. However, this is his sole film release of the current year as he’s engrossed in bidding adieu to the WWE world on his final tour. But fear not, he’ll be back on your TV screens in August during Season 2 of “Peacemaker”.
This year, I’m excited to see Idris Elba grace our screens not just once, but three times! Apart from his role in “Heads of State”, he’ll lend his voice to the character of Rocco in the adult animated romantic comedy film on Netflix titled “Fixed“. Additionally, he’ll star in a politically charged thriller directed by Kathryn Bidelow, also slated for release on Netflix, though its title remains a mystery for now. Keep an eye out for these captivating performances!
Look for Heads of State to hit Prime Video on July 2, 2025.
