“What happened, Washington? All those bullet holes in your jacket…” The religious movie distributor called Angel Studios has revealed their first look teaser trailer for Young Washington, a traditionalist look back at the origin story of “America’s first leader.” The story of America’s first president – George Washington. From filmmaker Jon Erwin (director of Jesus Revolution, I Can Only Imagine, House of David) comes a powerful new historical epic based on the true story that shaped a nation. Introducing William Franklyn-Miller as the young George and also starring Mary-Louise Parker as his mom Mary Washington, Kelsey Grammer as Lord Fairfax, Andy Serkis as Edward Braddock, Jonno Davies as James Mackay, and Ben Kingsley as Robert Dinwiddie. This film explores the courage, sacrifice, and destiny that forged a legendary leader – following George “fighting through intense battles in the French and Indian War and fending for himself in tense military meetings.” What will they leave out? Young Washington will open in theaters in July 2026 – just before Independence Day 2026, which will mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Of course they’re releasing it then. This looks like an epic history lesson, similar to The Patriot from 2000, but it’ll also be exceptionally pro-America in a very cringe way. Have at it.
Here’s the first teaser trailer for Jon Erwin’s movie Young Washington, direct from Angel’s YouTube:
“Before he led a revolution, he survived one.” The origin story of America’s first leader… The film traces the early life of America’s first president and will debut in theaters nationwide during Independence Day Weekend 2026, honoring the nation’s 250th year since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. “It captures the tension, courage, and humanity of a leader whose formative story has rarely been told on screen.” Young Washington is directed by faith-based filmmaker Jon Erwin, director of the films October Baby, Fully Alive, Woodlawn, I Can Only Imagine, I Still Believe, American Underdog, The Jesus Music, Jesus Revolution, and the “House of David” series previously. The screenplay is written by Jon Erwin, Tom Provost, Diederik van Hoogstraten. It’s produced by Adam Abel, Benton Crane, Chip Diggins, Jon Erwin, Kristopher Kimlin, Edmund Sampson, Tyler Zacharia. Angel Studios will debut Erwin’s Young Washington movie in theaters nationwide starting on July 3rd, 2026 next summer. Anyone want to actually watch it?
