Amazon’s action-comedy “Heads of State” held back-to-back launch events in New York City this week ahead of its 2 July global debut on Prime Video. Priyanka Chopra, who plays MI6 operative Noel Bisset, hosted an intimate screening for friends and family in a white Jacquemus gown before leading the formal red-carpet premiere at Lincoln Center in a silver halter dress. Co-stars John Cena, portraying the U.S. president, and Idris Elba, cast as the U.K. prime minister, joined her at both events. The promotional push included a surprise appearance by Chopra, Cena and Elba at Grand Central Station, where they greeted London passers-by through a real-time video portal, echoing the film’s trans-Atlantic storyline. Nick Jonas and the couple’s three-year-old daughter Malti attended the private screening, with Joe Jonas introducing the film; Chopra later shared that Malti jokingly refers to her father’s band as “the donut brothers.” First reactions have been upbeat, with CNN News18 calling the picture “terrific” and praising Chopra as “incredible.” The film pairs political satire with high-octane set pieces as the uneasy U.S.–U.K. duo rely on Chopra’s agent to avert a global crisis. Amazon is positioning the title as the centre-piece of its summer slate on Prime Video.
