Set during a high-stakes NATO summit, the movie follows an unlikely alliance between world leaders caught in an international conspiracy. With a mix of political satire, explosive action, and sharp humor, the story moves from Spain to Eastern Europe and deep into a global intelligence crisis. After Air Force One is shot down, Derringer and Clarke must rely on Bisset to help uncover a mole within NATO.

By the end, order is restored, but a mid-credits twist teases the survival of a key character and a potential new mission. As of now, a sequel has not been officially confirmed.

Is Heads of State 2 happening?

As of now, Heads of State 2 has not been officially confirmed by Amazon MGM Studios. However, the film leaves the door wide open. The biggest clue comes in a mid-credits scene that shows Marty Comer, presumed dead earlier in the film, alive and sipping a drink at a beachside bar. His survival is explained by a metal plate in his skull, which deflected the bullet that seemingly killed him.

The scene ends with Noelle Bisset approaching him, confirming his identity and teasing a new mission. This short exchange strongly suggests a future storyline centered around the two agents.

In a July 3 interview with ScreenRant, director Ilya Naishuller expressed interest in continuing the story.

If people watch the movie and enjoy it, and Amazon feels like it makes sense to do a second one, absolutely. I’d love to get more of Jack in there and more of Marty.” His comments hint at a potential shift in focus—from political figures to intelligence operatives.

While nothing is greenlit yet, the post-credits tease, combined with the director’s enthusiasm, signals that a sequel or at least a spin-off is on the table.


What is Heads of State about?

The movie opens in Buñol, Spain, where MI6 agent Noelle Bisset fails to capture Russian arms dealer Viktor Gradov, who then gains access to ECHELON, a global surveillance system shared by Five Eyes intelligence nations.

Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Sam Clarke prepares for a state visit from U.S. President Will Derringer. Tensions flare during a joint press conference, prompting their teams to arrange a PR-mending trip aboard Air Force One to a NATO summit in Trieste.

Their journey is cut short when Gradov’s men attack the plane. Air Force One is shot down over Eastern Europe, and Clarke and Derringer, believed to be dead, parachute into enemy territory. They reunite with CIA officer Marty Comer, who helps them navigate across Belarus and Poland. Comer is seemingly killed during an ambush, while Bisset re-emerges to assist the stranded leaders.

Together, the trio uncovers that Vice President Elizabeth Kirk is the mole behind the chaos, secretly working with Gradov to destabilize NATO. The climax unfolds at the summit, where Kirk and Gradov are stopped, and peace is restored.

Two months later, Clarke and Derringer are allies, and Bisset is still active in the field. But the biggest twist comes in the post-credits: Marty’s survival and Bisset’s approach signal a new beginning, one that may lead to Heads of State 2.
