Kate Mara also has an Emmy nomination for her performance in House of Cards, while Tom Felton is highly recognizable for his role as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter. However, for whatever reason, Megan Leavy received little attention upon its initial release in 2017 and only grossed $14.5 million at the box office.
Though it may have flown under the radar, the film's effects are still being seen today. Megan Leavey can be credited with starting the recent trend of uplifting adventure films featuring canine companions. After Megan Leavey in 2017, its successors include Harrison Ford's Call of the Wild from 2020, Channing Tatum's Dog from 2022, and Mark Wahlberg's Arthur the King from 2023.
