Top Gun Maverick: Tom Cruise stars in trailerIt was 36 years in the making, but the follow-up to Top Gun finally hit the big screen in 2022.
Legacy sequels can be a huge risk decades later, but Tom Cruise’s Top Gun Maverick turned out to be a monumental hit with both the critics and the box office.
The Oscar-winning blockbuster features scenes shot inside actual fighter jets flown by the star, has 96 per cent positive on Rotten Tomatoes and made $1.496 billion globally.
The 62-year-old reprises his role as US Navy Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, training a group of younger Top Gun graduates for a dangerous mission.
Among them is Miles Teller as Rooster, the son of Maverick’s best friend Goose, who died in the first movie.
