Angel Studios brings David to big screens
Angel Studios has released David, a sweeping biblical epic that traces the rise of Israel’s most unexpected king. The film follows David from his days as a shepherd through the climactic showdown with Goliath, exploring themes of faith, courage, repentance and destiny.
Faith-focused storytelling for families
David aims to be a family-friendly picture that balances action and spiritual reflection. Rather than treating the Goliath battle as a simple test of strength, the movie frames it as a spiritual struggle that shapes the nation’s future. The film blends dramatic set pieces with quieter, character-driven moments about loyalty, betrayal and devotion to God.
Notable cast and musical contributions
Worship artist Phil Wickham voices the adult David, lending a familiar voice to audiences in the faith community. Brandon Engman voices young David, bringing life to the hero’s formative years. Wickham told The Christian Post he connects with David’s repentance and his repeated return to God:
“He was a man of victory and faith and also of sin and failure… I think the difference is repentance. He always came back to God.” — Phil Wickham
Wickham’s involvement highlights Angel Studios’ focus on integrating music and worship sensibilities into storytelling. The film’s original score is a prominent element of its promotional push.
Sing-along event and theater run
Angel Studios is reportedly planning a “DAVID” sing-along event in theaters on Dec. 31 featuring the film’s original score. The sing-along is positioned as a community event where families and church groups can experience the music and story together.
Tickets and screening information are available on Angel Studios’ official ticket page: angel.com/tickets/david.
Why David matters now
The story of David offers themes many families find resonant: resilience, repentance and the complexity of human character. Angel Studios’ adaptation arrives at a time when faith-based theatrical releases continue to carve a steady audience, particularly around the holiday season when families seek uplifting shared experiences.
