With the Top Gun 2 UK release date now scheduled for 2022, as Tom Cruise approaches his 60th birthday, the question is whether or not they've left things just a little too late for the return of Maverick to the big screen. However, there are more than enough fans of the original looking forward to watching the sequel, so here's the latest news on the film, including what we know about the story synopsis, age rating and our parents guide. Paramount didn't want to cherry pick which movies will open in the current climate. In their view, all their filmmakers and stars deserve the same consideration and positioning in a future potential robust box office marketplace.
For the time being, this leaves the rest of 2021 without any Paramount releases; their first big feature back is the Spyglass Dimension produced reboot ofScreamon Jan. 14. When Black Widow set a pandemic box office record with its $80 million weekend in early July of this year, the National Research Group projected that 81 percent of Americans were confident in the safety of returning to movie theaters. Since then, however, the Delta variant has caused infection and death rates to spike in the U.S., particularly among the unvaccinated. According to infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci, more than 99 percent of the deaths now being caused by COVID are among the unvaccinated, while August showed infection rates in the U.S. had risen by more than 85 percent overall. Likely the box office performance of this weekend's theaters-only Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will determine how things play out for Eternals. But given Paramount vacating out of fall 2021, things aren't looking great for those hoping Eternals doesn't have to compete against itself on streaming and pirating….
But the further we get past October, the more negotiable things might appear, including the previously late November-slated Top Gun. Studios are reportedly nervous about four-quadrant films that entire fiscal years are pinned to, like a Tom Cruise action movie. Producers are also painfully aware of the importance of younger moviegoers and the parents who take them to the cinema for such blockbusters. 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. Originally slated for release on July 12, 2019, production was postponed to film more complex flight sequences.
Then, in 2020, the movie was delayed again (and again…) due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Maverick is back in the cockpit in the first trailer for the Top Gun sequel and it looks like his flying skills have only improved with age. The new clip doesn't give away many specifics about the plot, but it does reveal that the infamous fighter pilot is now a teacher for a new generation of recruits. It also gives quick glimpses at a new romance and seems to imply that Maverick has not moved on from the death of his best friend, Goose. The same month, the movie's second trailer was released, introducing the new batch of trainees whom Maverick is going to be taking under his wing. The video also teases that one of the trainees is going to die during an exercise and shows a fight breaking out between Maverick and Rooster.
A teaser for the movie was also released during Super Bowl 2020, which briefly reveals that Maverick is going to be running into some trouble with the top brass during the course of the film. In August 2018, Powell joined the cast of the film in a pilot trainee role that was enlarged for him, having impressed star Tom Cruise, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, as well as executives at Paramount Pictures and Skydance, with his auditions. In October 2018, Kara Wang, Jack Schumacher, Greg Tarzan Davis, Jake Picking, Raymond Lee, Jean Louisa Kelly and Lyliana Wray joined the cast of the film. Additionally, McKenzie was forced to drop out of the film after signing onto Lost Girls. In November 2018, Chelsea Harris joined the cast of the film in an undisclosed role. Val Kilmer had campaigned on his social media page that he would like to reprise his role in the film, and by June 2018, The Wrap reported that he will appear in the film.
While Bruckheimer and the filmmakers wanted to bring Kilmer back, Cruise was the one who tirelessly insisted in bringing back Kilmer to reprise his role. In July 2018, Miles Teller was cast in the role of Goose's son, against Nicholas Hoult and Glen Powell. All three were flown to Cruise's home, the star of the film, for chemistry tests. Later that month, Jennifer Connelly joined the film's cast to play a single mother running a bar near the Naval base.
The film is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on May 27, 2022, by Paramount Pictures. It will also be available to stream on Paramount+ 45 days after its theatrical debut. It was originally scheduled for release on July 12, 2019, but was postponed to "allow the production to work out all the complex flight sequences". Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and scheduling conflicts, the film experienced further delays. The first film had its cinematic release in 1986 when Cruise was in his mid twenties and while there are no details in terms of how far into Maverick's future it's set, it needs to be pretty distant to fit the 30 years outside the film. The miraculous ageing properties of Tom Cruise's face give it a little artistic license, and in all fairness movie magic will go a long way, so it's going to be interesting to see how it all comes together.
"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." "After more than 30 years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him," it reads. But it's not all pain and no gain – it wouldn't be a Top Gun movie without plenty of beach volleyball and flying across the skies, coolly watching on as the sun sets over another day in the pilot's seat. After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. After Paramount consulted with experts and their own global team, they decided to move the movies given the current conditions of COVID and its Delta variant around the world.
The outlook for global theater attendance is expected next year, which is the opportune time to maximize box office potential, and overall makes the most business sense for the studio's movies. Recently, Paramount moved Clifford The Big Red Dogout of the fall and will re-date some time in the future. Val Kilmer also returns as Maverick's adversary-turned-ally Iceman, while Miles Teller takes on the role of flight instructor for Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw – the son of Maverick's late friend Goose. There was an epic commercial that ran during the Super Bowl on Feb. 2, 2020, and, just a few weeks later, the world caved in.
The movie kept getting pushed back as the pandemic raged on, and now it's scheduled to premiere in theaters on May 27, 2022. After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Pete Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. Maverick is now a flight instructor at the Miramar Topgun, where he's guiding the son of his late flying partner, Nick "Goose" Bradshaw.
But honestly, we don't need much else than amazing aerial shots to be excited for a Top Gun revival. After Scott's suicide, the sequel's future remained in question, but producer Jerry Bruckheimer remained committed to the project, especially given Cruise's and Kilmer's interest.

The COVID-19 pandemic as well as some scheduling issues have delayed the film's release, but barring any further issues, the film will hit cinemas on November 19, 2021.
There's no Top Gun without Cruise, of course, and the star is back as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell. This time, the legendary fighter pilot returns to the US Navy's Fighter Weapons School as an instructor, passing on his expertise to a new generation of fliers for a specialised mission. Many studios are using a hybrid approach to film releases, screening them on streaming services and in cinemas at the same time.
Tom Cruise fans will have to wait a while longer to see his post-pandemic big screen return, after two of his highly-anticipated blockbuster sequels were pushed back again due to a surge of COVID-19. Axel is a London-based staff writer at TechRadar, reporting on everything from the latest Tesla models to newest movies as part of the site's daily news output. Paramounts decision to shift its release slate comes amid rising concerns over the impact of the Covid-19 delta variant on theater attendance. Unlike other studios, including Warner Bros. and Disney, Paramount has kept many of its biggest 2021 releases – A Quiet Place Part II, for instance – theatrical-only, rather than experimenting with day-and-date releases on streaming services.
Val Kilmer is set to reprise his role as Tom 'Iceman' Kazansky and new faces include Miles Teller as 'Rooster', a pilot trainee and the son of Maverick's late best friend 'Goose'. To be clear, some of the fall 2021 film slate will remain firmly in place no matter what, including blockbusters like MGM and Eon Productions' No Time to Die. But as we analyzed here, the James Bond franchise remains a singular property with its own distinct series of extenuating circumstances. Additionally, the film's UK release date of Sept. 30 and U.S. release of Oct. 8 are likely too close to scrap without costing a small fortune that would come from backing out of arrangements with third parties, including exhibitors. Other October releases—particularly seasonally dependent and more adult-skewing ones like Halloween Kills or even Last Night in Soho—could also have decent reason to remain where they are.
Miles Teller plays one of the most important new characters, appearing in the movie as Lt. Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw, the son of Maverick's late RIO and best friend, Nick "Goose" Bradshaw. Rooster is a pilot trainee and fans can probably expect some friction between him and Maverick. A test pilot and flight instructor, Maverick is known for his daring acts in the air but has been avoiding promotions so he can keep flying.
The studio's delays are due to the fact that concerns over the delta variant have reportedly affected cinema attendance, which is not good news for the most expensive Hollywood movies. In February 2020, toy manufacturer Matchbox company announced that they were releasing a series of Top Gun die-cast models and products, including an F-14 Tomcat, Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, North American P-51 Mustang and role play items. They were scheduled for public release on June 1, 2020, despite the delayed theatrical release. Preliminary production on the film officially started on May 30, 2018, in San Diego, California. During late August a 15-person film crew from Paramount and Bruckheimer Films were aboard the Norfolk-based aircraft carrier USSAbraham Lincoln to shoot flight deck operations. In mid-February 2019, Cruise and the production crew were sighted on board USSTheodore Roosevelt at NAS North Island.
In March, filming was completed at NAS Whidbey Island in Oak Harbor, Washington. The age rating for the trailer above for Top Gun 2 Maverick is PG, but we're not expecting that to have much impact on the parents guide for the film release. As mentioned in the parents guide and age rating section, there's bound to be a romantic scene, so you're probably looking at Jennifer Connolly as Maverick's love interest. And then in terms of the enemy the US faces in Top Gun 2 the trailer seems to imply that it's just another one of life's mysteries. All we know for sure is that someone definitely feels the need for speed. The British Board of Film Classification won't put out the official Top Gun 2 age rating for the UK until much closer to the release date, but the 12 rating for the first film is a pretty good guide for what to expect from the sequel.
The parents guide notes for the 1986 film were a single use of strong language, moderate sex scenes and references. There was a lot of secrecy surrounding the film, especially in terms of the story synopsis, but the Top Gun 2 UK release date has now been moved to 2022. It was initially slated for Friday the 17th July 2020, so it will work out as a delay of just under two years. The latest date change for the UK moves the film to the 27th May 2022, so it will no longer be out over here before Christmas 2021. We're expecting more cast details to be announced in the build-up to the release to go alongside Tom Cruise reprising his role as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell. However, stars that have been confirmed so far are Miles Teller, Jennifer Connoly, Jon Hamm, Ed Harris, Glen Powell and Lewis Pullman.
Van Kilmer is also rumoured to be included on the project, returning as the Iceman, but at the moment it's unconfirmed. The shock comedy franchise starring Johnny Knoxville is now scheduled to be released next February, a delay of four months. There have been two trailers released for the film so far, one in the summer and one in December. In both clips, we see Maverick returning to school, and we also get an insight into the relationship between him and Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw.
The film has been in development for years, having first been announced in 2010. It was originally due to be released this year, but delayed by a year in order for filmmakers to make changes and better reflect modern flight sequences.

Universal's "F9" has grossed more than any other movie during the pandemic, with more than $700 million in ticket sales. Paramount's "A Quiet Place Part II," one of the first tentpoles to wade into theaters earlier this year, took in close to $300 million worldwide. The postponement is the latest setback for Hollywood's once-hopeful fall movie season. After multiple delays, the blockbuster flicks have had their release date pushed back once again due to the delta variant surge amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
