The second trailer for Heads of State has arrived, and it’s doubling down on everything that made the action-comedy’s premise instantly intriguing: a petty political rivalry, globe-trotting espionage, and an action-packed plot.

Heads of State finds Idris Elba as the UK’s Prime Minister Sam Clarke and John Cena as U.S. President Will Derringer—two world leaders whose not-so-civil beef threatens to blow up the relationship between their countries. But when an enemy launches a strike that catches even their elite security teams off guard, the two heads of state are forced into an unlikely (and deeply reluctant) partnership.

Also caught in the fray is MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), who teams up with Clarke and Derringer to expose a global conspiracy that may endanger the future of democracy. Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, Sarah Niles, and Richard Coyle round out the cast.

The latest look at the film gives fans a deeper look at the chaos to come, including shootouts on international soil, frantic car chases, and the one-upmanship that we love to see in a buddy comedy.
