Amazon Prime Video is ramping up for its major summer blockbuster, "Heads of State," set to premiere on July 2. Today, the streamer dropped the second and final trailer for the film, showcasing more explosive action and witty banter between its two leads. However, the biggest surprise of the trailer is the reveal of a previously unannounced cast member: Sharlto Copley, who narrates the entire preview only to have his character's fate comically spoiled by the end.
The film is helmed by "Nobody" director Ilya Naishuller, from a script by the writing duo of Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec ("Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" franchise). Harrison Query is credited with the original story and initial screenplay.
