Angel Studios has announced that its upcoming film 'Young Washington,' a biopic about America's first president from 'House of David' creator and 'Jesus Revolution' director Jon Erwin, will patriotically roll into theaters on America's 250th birthday.

The studio is so excited about the project that tickets went on sale before a single camera rolled on the film. Production on 'Young Washington' is expected to begin later this summer, with no word yet on who will be cast as George Washington.
'Our shared commitment to inspirational, powerful storytelling made 'Young Washington' an easy project to partner on with Wonder,' Angel Studios president Jordan Harmon said in a statement. '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.'
'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,' Erwin said. ''Young Washington' isn't just a film — it's a celebration of the American spirit and the miracle of the forging of our nation.'
No showtimes or theater locations have been announced yet, so the tickets available to purchase today merely guarantee you a seat at a showing near you, with the promise of a refund if you end up being too far away from one. Purchasers will be able to select specific showtimes and seats closer to the release date.
The early ticket sales are being marketed as a way for diehard Angel fans to ensure that the film opens in as many theaters as possible. And as an added bonus for those still on the fence, purchasing tickets enters you in a contest to win a Ford F-250 pickup truck.

Oscar Isaac Teases MOON KNIGHT's Future in the MCU: 'Maybe We'll See Him in a Movie' — GeekTyrant
It's been a while since we last saw Moon Knight wreaking havoc in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and fans have been waiting for any hint of what's next for Marc Spector and his wild crew of personalities. While a second season of the Disney+ series hasn't been officially greenlit, Oscar Isaac recently shared a cryptic but hopeful update that suggests we haven't seen the last of the Fist of Khonshu. During a fan convention appearance, Isaac was asked directly about a possible second season of Moon Knight , and he offered this short but intriguing reply: 'We'll see, maybe one day, or in a movie we'll see him [return].' That line's enough to keep the speculation train chugging along, especially since this isn't the first time Isaac has dropped vague teases. Back in 2022, shortly after the show wrapped its first season, Isaac was seen in a TikTok video alongside executive producer and director Mohammed Diab in Cairo. When Diab's niece asked about a second season, Isaac replied: 'Why else would we be in Cairo?' Naturally, fans assumed that meant season two was a done deal. Fast-forward to now, and things remain... complicated. According to Brad Winderbaum, head of Marvel Television, the studio's priorities have shifted when it comes to Disney+ series. He previously said: 'So I think Marvel Television has happened in waves, and I think Moon Knight happened in a wave of shows that were going to establish characters that would tie-in to the future. And moving forward, our priorities have shifted. We're making shows as shows that can exist as annual releases, more like television.' That's not a total shutdown, though. Winderbaum also confirmed, 'There are plans for Moon Knight down the road.' While he didn't spill any specific details, it lines up with rumors that the character could return in upcoming projects like Avengers: Secret Wars or the highly-anticipated Midnight Sons film. The Moon Knight Season 1 finale left things wide open. Not only did Marc and Steven finally reach some kind of peace, but we also met Jake Lockley, the third, and most brutal, persona. He and Khonshu eliminated Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke), but the ending hinted at much darker territory ahead. Whether it's on the small screen or the big one, Moon Knight 's story clearly isn't over, and with Isaac still game to put on the white suit again, fans just might get their wish. Are you excited to see Moon Knight return? Would you prefer another season or a full-blown cinematic debut?
