The new John Cena comedy Heads of State held its world premiere last night at Alice Tully Hall in New York City.
Cena, Idris Elba, the fim's director Ilya Naishuller, as well as cast members Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Carla Gugino, Sarah Niles, Richard Coyle and Alexander Kuznetsov were all in attendance at the premiere.

After the premiere, the cast and their guests attended a post-premiere party at Twin Tails NYC, which is an awesome restaurant.
Heads of State will premiere next week on Prime Video. The plot:
"In the action-comedy Heads of State, the UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) and U.S. President Will Derringer (John 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. The film also stars Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid and Sarah Niles and is directed by Ilya Naishuller"
