Angel Studios and the Wonder Project announced in July that the two major entertainment brands are teaming up for a new film project “Young Washington.”
From Angel: In a novel collaboration, Angel Studios and Wonder Project have announced they are partnering to release the upcoming film YOUNG WASHINGTON, set to debut in theaters nationwide on July 4th weekend, 2026. The film will be directed by Jon Erwin (Jesus Revolution, I Can Only Imagine, House of David), and will begin filming later this summer. In an industry first, tickets are available for purchase one year in advance of the release date via Angel’s revolutionary ticketing platform.

“Our shared commitment to inspirational, powerful storytelling made YOUNG WASHINGTON an easy project to partner on with Wonder,” said Jordan Harmon, President of Angel. (RELATED: Everything You Need To Know About Angel Studios’ Next Movie ‘The Last Rodeo’)
“George Washington helped shape our nation and so many of the American values we hold dear. I can’t imagine a more meaningful way to celebrate America’s 250th birthday than by watching this adaptation of such a pivotal period in his young life.”
What Will The Movie Entail?
YOUNG WASHINGTON chronicles the origins of America’s first president. After making a tremendous mistake that triggers the French and Indian War, an ambitious 22-year-old George Washington must face his failures and find the courage to become the leader that will forge a nation.
“I’ve dreamed of telling the powerful origin story of George Washington for nearly a decade. It’s a story of a true pioneer, which makes it the perfect project to partner on with the pioneers at Angel and their world-class distribution network,” said director Jon Erwin. “YOUNG WASHINGTON isn’t just a film—it’s a celebration of the American spirit and the miracle of the forging of our nation.” (RELATED: Angel Studios Greenlights Two Seasons Of Post-Apocalyptic Thriller ‘Homestead’)
“At Wonder, innovation is at the heart of everything we do—not only in how we tell courageous stories that restore faith in things worth believing in, but also in how we engage with and serve our audience,” said Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten, CEO of Wonder Project. “We’re proud to partner with Angel Studios in offering tickets for YOUNG WASHINGTON a full year ahead of its release, giving families and communities across the country the opportunity to come together and experience this powerful celebration of America’s first founder.”
Harmon continues, “There hasn’t been a film that I believe has done justice to George Washington’s legacy. This film will change that.”

Do You Know How Your Pastor Feels About Politics?
Your Sunday service doesn’t have to be political, but your day-to-day life outside of His four walls will always be dictated — in large part — by your elected officials. Ignorance of politics is like handing over control of your life to the greediest, most power-hungry serpent in the room. When we Use Our Voice, we bring a more Biblical worldview to our nation.
We’re in the middle of a Great American Revival, and we know there are so many incredible stories of faith being shielded by the corporate mainstream news media. Please tell us your great stories of faith today as we want to start sharing them — anonymously or as directed — email [email protected] to get involved today.
Contact Your Reps To Protect America’s Future
It seems like every time we at Million Voices speak to lawmakers and their teams, they all tell us the same thing: if just 10 people in their district write them letters about issues that matter to them, they know they have a serious crisis on their hands. A thousand people could message that same lawmaker via email or social media, and it would mean nothing. But hand-written, or even printed and signed letters, will make your politicians take action (if they really care about your vote, that is).
Contacting your representatives should be easy, but there are myriad ways they can ignore your messages. That’s where we come in.
Yes, Million Voices helps you with voter guides. Yes, we send letters from YOU directly to your elected officials because it’s the only way to guarantee they’ll listen to you. Yes, we publish data, articles, text messages, and help bridge the gap between education and civic action. But what do you want? Tell us today.
We want to make YOU the hero of our American story by giving you the tools you need to make a difference, from your local, state, all the way up to the federal level.
Join us in our mission to advocate for religious freedom, support fair and secure elections, and uphold the values that this great nation was built upon. Tell us what you want from the next four years, and we will fight to make it a reality … again!
