Paramount Pictures just launched another trailer for the long-awaited Top Gun sequel, Tom Gun: Maverick, which is currently targeting a May 27, 2022 theatrical release. And I say “currently” because the much-anticipated sequel’s bounced around the release date calendar for a couple of years, thanks mostly to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The new official trailer finds Maverick (Tom Cruise) informed it’s due to Admiral “Iceman” Kazansky’s personal request that he’s been invited to train TOPGUN graduates. The new assignment finds Maverick butting heads with Goose’s son, Rooster (Miles Teller), who isn’t about to trust Maverick with his life.
The cast also includes Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Charles Parnell, Bashir Salahuddin, Monica Barbaro, Jay Ellis, Danny Ramirez, Greg Tarzan Davis, Ed Harris, and Val Kilmer.
Top Gun: Maverick was directed by Joseph Kosinski from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer, and Christopher McQuarrie (story by Peter Craig and Justin Marks). Cruise, McQuarrie, Jerry Bruckheimer, and David Ellison produced, with Tommy Harper, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, Chad Oman, and Mike Stenson executive producing.
The Plot, Courtesy of Paramount Pictures:
After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of TOPGUN graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Teller), call sign: “Rooster,” the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose.”
Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.
