Top Gun Maverick | What to Expect

 



Top Gun: Maverick: release date, trailer, cast and everything else we know about the Tom Cruise sequel



More than 35 years after the original Top Gun, the Tom Cruise blockbuster is getting a sequel in the form of Top Gun: Maverick. Joining a long list of much-delayed follow-ups, will Top Gun: Maverick be able to capture the magic of the original?

In the original, Top Gun (1986), a young Cruise stars as the hot-shot pilot Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, as he and his co-pilot Goose (Anthony Edwards) take part in the Navy’s top school for elite fighter pilots. Maverick likes to push it to the limit, but that ends up getting him in trouble and his confidence gets shaken following a tragic accident. But the happy ending prevails and he saves the day and gets the girl.

Top Gun remains a fan-favorite to this day, thanks to numerous factors including a star-making turn from Tom Cruise, memorable supporting characters like  Anthony Edwards' Goose and Val Kilmer's Iceman, fantastic '80s tunes like "Danger Zone" and "Take My Breath Away" and incredible aerial sequences. Talk about a sequel has been swirling for years and now its arrival is imminent (after a few delays along the way).

When is the Top Gun: Maverick release date?

After a few stops and starts, Top Gun: Maverick will arrive in theaters on May 27, 2022. 

Top Gun: Maverick was shifted to its new Memorial Day weekend date after it was initially due for release in summer 2020. Of course, it got moved, along with every major blockbuster because of the pandemic. Fans hoped it would land in 2021, but it eventually was pushed to 2022.

Top Gun: Maverick is getting the chance to take off a little early, as The Hollywood Reporter shared that the Tom Cruise movie will be a special screening at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival in France that will take place between May 17 and May 28.

The May 27 release date for Top Gun: Maverick will be the start of the movie's exclusive run in movie theaters. While we don't know when Top Gun: Maverick will make its way to streaming, we can bet that it will debut on Paramount Plus.

What is the plot of Top Gun: Maverick?

Top Gun: Maverick takes place more than 30 years after the events of Top Gun. Maverick is now working as a test pilot and actively attempting to dodge the advancement in rank that would force him to stop flying.

However, his career ends up taking him back to Top Gun, where he must confront his past as he is charged with training a new squadron of fighter pilots.

Who is in the Top Gun: Maverick cast?

Tom Cruise will be just shy of 60 when Top Gun: Maverick is released, but there is no way Hollywood was going to make a Top Gun sequel and not have him back in the cockpit of a fighter jet. Maverick remains one of Cruise’s most iconic roles, so you just can’t have a Top Gun movie without the star reprising the character.

Cruise spoke with What to Watch sister publication Total Film about the movie in their latest issue, which they've teased with a couple of new looks as well:

Cruise isn’t the only cast member returning from the original film. Maverick’s frenemy is back, as Val Kilmer will once again play Iceman. Anyone who has seen the documentary Val on Prime Video knows that Kilmer currently uses a voice box to speak after battling throat cancer. 

There will also be plenty of new faces in Top Gun: Maverick. Key to the plot is Miles Teller, who will be playing Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw, the son of Maverick’s old co-pilot Goose. Other new members of the cast include Jennifer Connelly, Ed Harris, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Manny Jacinto, Monica Barbaro, Jean Louis Kelly, Raymond Lee, Jay Ellis and Charles Parnell.
