Veteran WWE Superstar John Cena has joined a brand-new action comedy film.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cena and Idris Elba will star in “Heads of State.” The action comedy will be distributed by Amazon Studios, which acquired it during a competitive Zoom presentation in October 2020.
The storyline is being kept under wraps, but the film is described as “Air Force One meets Midnight Run,” and it will follow a mismatched pair, Cena and Elba, who find themselves in over their heads in a high-stakes situation.
The project “Heads of State” will be directed by Ilya Naishuller and produced by Peter Safran and John Rickard through The Safran Company. The first draft was written by Harrison Query, and the most recent draft was written by Josh Applebaum and André Nemec.
As PWMania.com previously reported at this link, it was announced on Wednesday that the political thriller “The Independent,” starring Cena, Ann Dowd, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Brian Cox, will premiere exclusively on Peacock on Wednesday, November 2.
