Priyanka Chopra On Working With John Cena & Idris Elba In Heads Of State: 'I Didn't Feel Left Out At All'
Priyanka Chopra on working with John Cena & Idris Elba in Heads of State: 'It wasn't like high school… I had a great time.' Premieres July 2 on Prime Video.
When John Cena and Idris Elba team up, chaos is inevitable — but with Priyanka Chopra Jonas entering the scene, it transforms into full-blown cinematic mayhem. Their latest film Heads of State, set to premiere globally on Prime Video on July 2, brings together this high-powered trio in an action-comedy packed with slick suits, sharp dialogue, and global political pandemonium.
After their unforgettable camaraderie in The Suicide Squad (2021), Cena and Elba reunite — this time as President of the United States Will Deringer and British Prime Minister Sam Clarke. Priyanka Chopra steps into the fray as MI6 agent Noel Bisset, bringing both edge and elegance to the explosive ensemble.
Reflecting on her experience filming alongside the two powerhouse stars, Priyanka shared, 'Oh, it was amazing. I didn't feel left out at all. It wasn't 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."
Directed by Ilya Naishuller, the mind behind Nobody, the film boasts a star-studded supporting cast including Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, and Sarah Niles. With its high-octane set pieces, razor-sharp banter, and political satire, Heads of State is shaping up to be a summer blockbuster with global appeal. The movie will stream in multiple languages including English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.
Ahead of its release, Priyanka hosted an intimate screening for her family and close friends. Early reactions have been glowing with praise. One attendee called it a must-see and lauded Priyanka's performance, while another described the film as terrific and congratulated her personally. Others shared their enthusiasm online, urging viewers not to miss the film when it drops on Prime Video. Priyanka reposted many of these reactions on her Instagram Stories, giving fans a preview of the buzz building around the movie.
The trailer teases a blend of international espionage, high-stakes diplomacy, and unapologetic comedy, with Priyanka leading some of the most thrilling sequences. Produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Heads of State fuses political absurdity with blockbuster energy — a slick, fast-paced film with global stakes.
Beyond Heads of State, Priyanka Chopra continues to expand her global acting footprint. She is set to star in SSMB 29, directed by SS Rajamouli and co-starring Mahesh Babu — a project that marks her first collaboration with the legendary filmmaker. She is also preparing for The Bluff, a swashbuckling adventure set in the 19th-century Caribbean, in which she plays a former pirate forced to confront her past to protect her family. The film also features Karl Urban and Ismael Cruz Córdova.

Anna Wintour Steps Down As Editor Of US Vogue After Nearly 40 Years: Report
Magazine legend Anna Wintour is stepping down as editor of fashion bible US Vogue after 37 years in the post, US media reported Thursday. British-born Wintour, 75, has been one of the most influential and formidable figures in fashion and magazine journalism for decades, famous for her ever-present sunglasses and unchanging bob haircut. She was widely seen as the inspiration behind " The Devil Wears Prada," a hit 2003 novel and 2006 movie, in which the role of a tyrannical magazine editor was played by Meryl Streep. Wintour, who took the helm at US Vogue in 1988, announced her departure at a staff meeting, but she will stay on as group owner Conde Nast's global chief content officer and as editorial director at Vogue, People magazine reported. Several other publications also reported this news. Wintour, who held the title of Vogue's editor-in-chief, was made a British dame in 2017 and in February this year was made a companion of honour, joining a select group never numbering more than 65 recognized for major contributions in their field. At the ceremony in London in February, she removed her trademark sunglasses to receive the award and said she had told King Charles III that she had no plans to stop working. Wintour, who was raised in the UK by a British father and an American mother, is described by many as the single most powerful person in the global fashion industry. Her choice of covers for the monthly magazine was seen as authoritative in the publication's heyday, and she was renowned for her strict control over content, sometimes axing work without discussion. A 2015 documentary about her life pointed to her ice queen image and steely ambition but also revealed her warmer side.
