Idris Elba, John Cena, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas in Heads of State (2025)

Trivia

Heads of State

Edit
At 36:00, Clarke mentions getting bin Laden. John Cena announced the death of Osama bin Laden live at the 2011 Extreme Rules WWE pay-per-view event by saying, "The president has just announced that we have caught, and compromised to a permanent end, Osama bin Laden."
When Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) is out for his midnight jog, he's wearing an Arsenal hat. Idris Elba is a huge fan of Arsenal.
Jack Quaid actually shot this before he made Novocaine (2025). In fact, he enjoyed making it so much he was really keen to do another violent action comedy, hence him signing up for Novocaine (2025).
The film was originally conceived as an action thriller. When director Ilya Naishuller came on board, he wondered if it work better as an action comedy instead.
Director Ilya Naishuller is a meticulous storyboarder for his elaborate action sequences. It took him five months to do the storyboards for this film, including 10 do-overs for the attack on Air Force 1 segment.

Director Cameo

Ilya Naishuller: Appears as the Polish police officer who is handcuffed as his car is commandeered.
