Elba, whose career includes a lot of what might be called prestige genre, has such natural poise and gravity that one assumes he's done all the Shakespeares and Shaws and Ibsens, but "The Wire" and " Luther " were more his thing.

Prime Video is kicking off July with a big dose of action and comedy in Heads of State. The action flick was released on July 2, just in time for the Fourth of July weekend. Starring John Cena and Idris Elba as rival world leaders forced to work together, the movie is a fresh blend of international espionage, buddy comedy and explosive stunts.
