Could you team up with your biggest hater?

Imagine a world where John Cena is U.S. President (which isn’t so far-fetched) and Idris Elba is UK Prime Minister.
Now add Jack Quaid, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, big explosions, tongue-in-cheek humor into the mix and you have Prime Video’s Heads Of State–a bonkers throwback to the golden era of cheesy Action-Comedies that we love.
Check out the trailer below:
Based on the bonkers trailer, we’re in for a helluva ride with UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) and his rival President Will Derringer (John Cena) who become the targets of a ruthless foreign adversary who proves more than a match for the two leaders’ security forces.

To survive, the beefing blokes must begrudgingly join forces and work together with the help of brilliant MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) to thwart a global conspiracy that threatens the entire free world.

Directed by Ilya Naishuller, the explosive film also stars Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, and Sarah Niles.
Returning for their second go-round (Suicide Squad), Elba and Cena are a hilariously dysfunctional duo who will surely pack living rooms this upcoming 4th of July weekend.

“It was fun doing that whole tit for tat that he and I did in Suicide Squad, but with different characters,” said Elba in an interview with EW.
“John’s very funny. He’s a big improvisational guy, so there was lots of that. When we left Suicide Squad, we wanted to work together again, and this was the perfect storm–we got to do a lot together, and it’s an old school two-hander–he’s playing a funny guy and I’m playing the straight man.”
Heads Of State premieres July 2 on Prime Video!
