John Cenas got a new job playing the President of the United States and last night, the wrestling legend turned Hollywood star walked the red carpet in New York City for the world premiere of his latest action-comedy Heads of State.
The premiere went down at Alice Tully Hall in NYC, with Cena joined by co-star Idris Elba, director Ilya Naishuller, and cast members Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Carla Gugino, Sarah Niles, Richard Coyle, and Alexander Kuznetsov.
But it wasnt just the stars of the movie making headlines. Hip-hop royalty Slick Rick showed up for the big night, along with former CNN anchor Don Lemon and comedian Jay Pharoah.
After the screening, the party didnt stop. The cast and their VIP guests hit up Twin Tails NYC, one of the citys hottest restaurants, for a post-premiere celebration.
Heads of State is set to premiere next week on Prime Video, and if the plots anything to go by, fans can expect plenty of action, laughs, and world-saving chaos. Cena plays U.S. President Will Derringer, while Elba takes on the role of UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke. The two leaders have a not-so-friendly, very public rivalry that puts their countries relationship at risk until they both become targets of a dangerous foreign enemy and are forced to team up.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas joins the mission as badass MI6 agent Noel Bisset, helping them try to survive and stop a global conspiracy that could bring down the free world. The cast also includes Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Jack Quaid, and Sarah Niles, with Ilya Naishuller directing.
