John Cena and Idris Elba in “Heads of State.”
Heads of State — a new action comedy starring John Cena and Idris Elba — premieres on Prime Video this week. When will the movie be available to stream?
The official summary for Heads of State reads, “UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Elba) and U.S. President Will Derringer (Cena) have a not-so-friendly and very public rivalry that jeopardizes their countries’ ‘special relationship.’ But when they become the targets of a powerful and ruthless foreign adversary — who proves more than a match for the two leaders’ security forces — they are begrudgingly forced to rely on the only two people they can trust: each other.
“Ultimately allied with the brilliant MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), they must go on the run and find a way to work together long enough to thwart a global conspiracy that threatens the entire free world.
Directed by Ilya Naishuller, Heads of State also stars Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid and Sarah Niles.
A Prime Video Original movie, Heads of State premieres on the streaming service on Wednesday, July 2.
Viewers can stream Heads of State one of two ways. Prime Video is part of an Amazon membership, which costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year. Additionally, Prime Video-only subscriptions are also available for $8.99 per month.
‘Heads Of State’ Reunites John Cena And Idris Elba After Working Together on 2021 Film
Heads of State is a reunion film for John Cena and Idris Elba, who previously worked together on James Gunn’s 2021 DC antihero action adventure The Suicide Squad.
During a May interview with Entertainment Weekly, Elba said he enjoyed the spontaneity Cena brought to the set of Heads of State.
“John’s very funny. He’s a big improvisational guy, so there was lots of that,” Elba told EW. “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.”
Rated PG-13, Heads of State premieres on Prime Video on Wednesday.
