You could safely say TOP GUN was the movie that solidified Tom Cruise as a blockbuster movie star way back in 1986. In the decades that followed, there have been rumors about a possible sequel, and now almost 35 years later, we’re finally getting that follow up. Cruise re-teams with director Joseph Kosinski (OBLIVION) and is joined by Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, and Ed Harris in TOP GUN: MAVERICK. Most of the major plot details are still under wraps, but get another look at what to expect in the new trailer below. Some of the shots here are incredibly nostalgic and rather beautiful, but considering how much times have changed since the original dominated theaters, will people still be excited at seeing Maverick take to the skies? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom 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 Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles 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.
