The Prime Video original movie,Heads of State, has a stellar cast that includes some of Hollywood’s most familiar faces.Peacemaker’sJohn Cena stars as US President, Will Drringer, oppositeAvengers: Infinity Waractor Idris Elba as the UK Prime Minister, Sam Clarke.
Aside from featuring aSuicide Squadreunion (which both Cena and Elba appeared in), the film’s cast also includes Priyanka Chopra (Citadel), Carla Gugino (Men of Steel), Paddy Considine (House of the Dragon), Stephen Root (Finding Nemo), and many more.
Centering around the unlikely friendship between two world leaders who are drastically different, the comedic, high-stakes action thriller seesCena and Elba forced to work together as they embark on a road trip while trying to save the world. Needless to say, their memoir-worthy journey has led them to unexpected encounters.
From Clarke’s old flame to a nerdy safe house agent,Heads of Stateis a movie full of surprises. In fact, the movie featuresone more DC star, who played a crucial role in saving the heads of two countries.
The Boys Star Jack Quaid Is Amazing In His Brief Heads Of State Role
Jack Quaid stars asspecial agent Marty Comer, who works to protect Derringer and Clarke at the safe house in Warsaw. Introduced as “America’s nutter,” the seemingly laid-back agent turns out to be a geeky guy with unmatched skills. Not only has Marty obsessively equipped the safe house with many backup exits, but he also uses an unconventional method to defend the hideout against the assassination attempt by Gradov’s men, Sasha, and Olga.
Quaid had aone-man army action sequenceinHeads of Statethat easily stole the spotlight from Elba and Cena. Some may argue that he has the coolest scenes in the entire movie, which saw himcarrying a vintage computer showing real-time surveillance footage to get updates on the attackers' real-time locationswhile taking them out one by one.
Marty easily leaves an impression, despite not having much screen time in the film. The safe house scene ends withQuaid’s station agent on a suicide mission to take out Sasha and Olga. However, his attempt was unsuccessful. The scene concludes with him seemingly killed off through a headshot.
While Marty was presumably dead throughout the rest of the film,Heads of State’s post-credits sceneconfirms thathe survived the attack somehow and had a metal plate implanted in the back of his head. Marty was last seen on a tropical island, trying to leverage his heroic act as a pickup line, though no civilian believed him.
