Head of State OTT release: When and where to stream Priyanka Chopra's latest movie
Directed by Ilya Naishuller (Nobody), Head of State features John Cena as the President of the United States and Idris Elba as the British Prime Minister — two global leaders who can't seem to stand each other. But when a powerful enemy threatens international stability, the duo must put their differences aside and join forces on a globe-trotting mission to save the day.
Adding to the star power is Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who plays a pivotal role in the high-stakes adventure. While not many details have been revealed about her character, fans are eagerly awaiting her return to the action-comedy genre.
The film also stars Jack Quaid, Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, and Carla Gugino.
With a mix of political satire, high-octane action, and laugh-out-loud moments, Head of State promises to be a fun ride — and Priyanka's fans around the world will get to stream it from the comfort of their homes starting July 2.

Idris Elba explains why he cannot watch his breakthrough role in The Wire: 'A part of me died with that character'
It may have been the breakthrough role that made him a household name, but British actor Idris Elba has never actually watched The Wire. Appearing as the sharp and calculated Stringer Bell for three seasons, the 52-year-old became a standout presence in the acclaimed HBO drama, but he recently revealed on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast that he's never seen the show that helped launch his career. Idris Elba played the role of Stringer Bell in The Wire for three seasons 'If I'm really honest, I didn't watch The Wire. I didn't watch it. And I feel bad. It's not that I'm not a fan of it — I was there. I made a show that was, you know, so intense and so real, so important, even though we didn't realize it. I didn't realize the importance of the show while making it,' Idris said. Despite playing one of television's most iconic antiheroes, Idris admitted to feeling distant from the show's lasting cultural impact. 'I didn't participate in its celebration as a viewer, as a fan. And so I feel a little bit outside of the club,' he said. Amy, a longtime admirer, responded by calling The Wire 'a series that changed my life' and shared that she has watched it 'all the way through at least three times.' When she encouraged Idris to watch it now, he shut the idea down: 'No, man.' 'You can't watch it now?' she asked. 'But I bet, Idris, I bet you have a feeling about it that you might be kinder to yourself and [the show], watching it now,' Amy added. However, Idris went on to explain that it's not just about seeing himself onscreen. 'It's more that I feel the presence of it all, my life since The Wire in terms of its impact,' he said. 'So to me, it was almost a bit like I was Stringer Bell. I'm not Stringer Bell, but I also feel like when Stringer Bell died, there was a part of me that died with that character. It's weird for me to go back and watch it,' he added. He added that he generally avoids revisiting his performances: 'I like being in it rather than watching it,' and said he dislikes becoming 'overly conscious' of his acting. Even years after the show ended, Idris remains closely tied to the role. 'At least once a day, someone says, 'Bro, Stringer Bell, The Wire,' whatever it is. And, you know, it really does, it surprises me how much impact that show had,' he shared. 'In a good way, it surprises me continuously that, you know, multi-generationally, it's still being talked to [by] people that weren't even born then. I feel proud. I feel a sense of pride,' he said.

U-turns wipe out UK welfare savings and strain budget, analysts warn
Government forced to scale back cuts to pass welfare reform bill Budget watchdog likely to downgrade growth projections Finance minister Reeves has tiny buffer to stay within fiscal rules Analysts predict government will have to raise taxes MANCHESTER, England, - Prime Minister Keir Starmer's U-turns to pass welfare reforms mean the plans will no longer save taxpayers any money and have shredded the margin Britain relies on to meet its fiscal rules, analysts said on Wednesday. Starmer won a vote in parliament on his welfare plans on Tuesday, but only after his Labour Party lawmakers forced him to scale back cuts, underlining the prime minister's waning authority. In particular, the government backed down on its plan to make it harder to claim the Personal Independence Payment, a benefit for people with health conditions. Starmer had hoped his welfare reforms would save 5.5 billion pounds in the current parliamentary term, which should end in 2029. "Without reform to Personal Independence Payment, the watered-down bill is not expected to deliver any savings over the next four years," said Helen Miller, the incoming director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies think-tank. The reforms will create "huge" disparities between the treatment of existing and future claimants with health conditions and disabilities, the IFS added. The watering down of the government's welfare bill further strains finance minister Rachel Reeves' budget plans, which hinge on a tiny buffer against the government's self-imposed fiscal rules - equivalent to less than 1% of annual spending. Reeves must also fund a partial reversal of cuts to winter fuel payments made to pensioners, as well as rising commitments to defence spending. On Tuesday, the Office for Budget Responsibility said its past economic growth forecasts had been too optimistic, meaning it is likely to downgrade its projections for this year's budget - another headache for Reeves. "The welfare concessions last night blow a hole in Rachel Reeves' fiscal rules. Combined with U-turns on fuel payments, her 9.9 billion pounds of headroom has almost gone," said Rob Wood, chief UK economist at consultancy Pantheon Macroeconomics. "With the OBR signalling that it's likely to downgrade long-term growth forecasts in the autumn, Reeves will have to raise taxes markedly again." While Britain's government has borrowed slightly less than the OBR predicted during the first two months of the 2025/26 financial year, economists say budget plans could yet be knocked off course by a fractious global economy and conflicts abroad. The British government bond market has become increasingly volatile in recent years, reflecting unease among investors over Britain's mix of slow economic growth, high debt interest costs and persistent inflation.
