When John Cena and Idris Elba teamed up back in 2021 in The Suicide Squad, it was crazy. Interestingly, the iconic duo’s on-screen chemistry as Peacemaker and Bloodsport sparked the idea for another wild ride in Prime Video’s Heads of State. However, this time around, they put on classy suits and stepped into political mayhem as Will Deringer (John Cena), President of the US and Sam Clarke (Idris Elba), the British Prime Minister. And to make things more interesting, jumping into the chaotic mix is the powerhouse Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who brings both grit and spunk to her role as M16 agent Noel Bisset.

Priyanka shared, “Oh, it was amazing. I didn`t feel left out at all. It didn`t feel like… It wasn`t like it was high school. They wanted to work together when they did Suicide Squad, and that`s where the inception of the movie came about. And Peter Safran (Producer) was like, we`ve got to bottle and sell this. So I`m just really happy to be on the ride with them and be the only girl in this, like, really masculine energy. I had a great time.”
