Letitia Wright distances herself from own movie over conservative ties
Wright's company is behind the new Christian-themed film, 'Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot,' which tells the story of a Texas church that adopted over 70 foster kids.
But, on Sunday, Wright issued a statement on Instagram complaining that Angel Studios is working with the conservative news website, DailyWire+.
'To be clear,' Wright wrote, 'after we completed production of this film, Angel Studios were brought on board to handle its distribution and they later partnered with The Daily Wire. That was not my decision, and I was not given an update or made aware of this decision.
'I am in no way aligned or affiliated with The Daily Wire.
'I do not condone using this beautiful film for divisive political purposes. That is not why I joined the project.'
Wright's statement also came after The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh promoted the film on X, claiming in a July 4 post that 'Leftists are trying to stop Christians from saving more children.'
The Daily Wire's CEO Jeremy Boreing told DailyMail.com that 'The Daily Wire is truly honored to partner with Angel Studios on such an important project.
'But, such is the intolerance of the modern left that instead of celebrating this accomplishment and all it might mean, one of the film's producers, Letitia Wright of Black Panther fame, used the occasion to condemn The Daily Wire's involvement in sharing this message across the country.

On Sunday, Wright issued a statement on her Instagram separating herself from the film's promoters
'Letitia and I probably don't share the same politics, but I believe we share a Christian faith and, more importantly, the same goal of shining a light on something we can all agree on - a community banding together to help kids in need.
'We hope people don't allow this distraction to steal from the message from the film and the impact it can have. Everyone should see this movie and join the fight for kids.'
Sound of Hope tells the story of Bishop W.C. Martin and his wife Donna Martin who inspired their entire congregation in East Texas - 22 families - to adopt every child in the county's foster care system.

Wright was heavily criticized in 2021 after a report claimed she had a habit of expressing her anti-vaccine views on the set of the sequel to the hit Marvel series - which she denied.
She was slammed by Marvel co-star Don Cheadle after she shared a YouTube clip featuring British commentator Tomi Arayomi, a Christian who claims to converse with angels and runs a ministry that charges members for lessons at his 'school.'
Arayomi describes himself as 'a well recognized Prophet and the Managing Director of Prophetic Voice TV.'
In the video shared by Wright, Arayomi asked if the COVID vaccine injection will implant 5G antennas inside people or create human-animal 'chimeras.'
The actor called the footage shared by Wright 'hot garbage' and said what was claimed in it was 'F****d up'.
