Can a movie use the likeness of a President at will, even for a story line like pic related?

DC comics, ladies and gentlemen.

Yes and no. It depends on how they use it. If they're using his speech they need to get permission, but if they're using it like abvove it's new content. It's mostly because he's speeches are copyrighted.

The emblem of the president is actually harder to use then the image of the man.

They can but usually just have a fictional president in the movie to avoid political controversy/distracting the viewers.

I mean imagine if Independence Day was written with Bill Clinton as president

>>71612508
They can but unless there's a point to it it doesn't really serve any function that a fictional president couldn't easily fill
Age is also a factor, like in Days of Future Past, it was fine to have Nixon in the movie, even though he didn't do anything, because it acts to pull you into the movie and the era it's set in
Putting a recent president like Obama in a movie is usually in poor taste

The real question is, who would you cast to play Bomb Queen?

Off the top of my head Lena Headey. Or Anja or whatever her name is. I honestly can't see who else looks the part.

If this were the case then political cartoons would never exist.

I opened up this thread only to see the picture in OP. I don't care for it's political value nor this thread's agenda.
Leaving now, as it didn't fulfill my expectations.
