The movie will be screened in the senator’s home state of Vermont on July 15 ahead of its July 20 U.S. premiere. Leahy says Warner Bros. CEO Barry Meyer will join him at the Vermont screening. This isn’t Leahy’s first big screen appearance. Leahy, a lifelong Batman fan, also appeared in The Dark Knight in 2008.
