The Release Dates for TOP GUN: MAVERICK, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 7, and JACKASS: FOREVER Pushed Back!
Noooooooo! I recently had the opportunity to watch the first 15 minutes of Top Gun: Maverick, and it was freakin’ awesome! I was super stoked that we were going to get to watch this movie in November! Well, plans have changed and I’m bummed out.
Paramount Pictures has pushed the released date back from November of this year to May 27th, 2022, Memorial Day weekend. We have to wait until next year to watch this movie, and I hate that, especially after being teased with that first 15 minutes!
The film takes the spot of Mission: Impossible 7, which is now set to be released on September 30th, 2022. It was also announced that Jackass: Forever will now be released on February 4th, 2022, instead of October 2021.
I guess the studio just wants to release the films at an ideal time when the pandemic is far behind us?
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.
Top Gun: Maverick stars Tom Cruise, who is reprising his role from the original film, and he will be joined by Miles Teller as Goose's son, Glen Powell, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Ed Harris, Val Kilmer, and Lewis Pullman.
