The film traces the early life of America’s first president. It will debut in theaters nationwide during Independence Day Weekend 2026, honoring the nation’s 250th year since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
“With this teaser trailer, audiences are getting their first real look at the scale, emotion, and power of Young Washington,” says Brandon Purdie, Head of Theatrical Distribution and Brand Development at Angel. “It captures the tension, courage, and humanity of a leader whose formative story has rarely been told on screen.
