In Heads of State, Chopra plays MI6 agent Noel Bisset, who is tasked with helping the US President (played by John Cena) and the UK Prime Minister (played by Idris Elba) navigate an international crisis. The film’s premise pits political rivals against a global conspiracy, unfolding through fast-paced espionage.
Directed by Ilya Naishuller, the film is set for a theatrical release on 2 July, with a streaming debut on Prime Video expected later. Chopra’s role sees her step into full action-hero territory, something fans have been eager to see since her Quantico days.

A red carpet moment and a glimpse into Chopra's personal life
Earlier this week, during a Good Morning America appearance, she revealed that her three-year-old daughter now insists on being called “Malti Marie Moana Chopra Jonas,” inspired by her love of Disney’s Moana. Her husband, singer Nick Jonas, recently shared how fatherhood has shifted his priorities. “Playing Moana and Maui means more to me than anything else,” he said, adding that being ‘just Dad’ at home is his favourite role.
With her latest red carpet look and a powerful new role, Priyanka Chopra proves she’s just as commanding on screen as she is on the red carpet, and Heads of State is set to showcase both.
