TOP GUN: MAVERICK Will Now Fly Into Theaters in December!
Paramount Pictures has announced a new release date for Top Gun: Maverick! The film was originally supposed to be released on June 24th but was pulled from the release schedule due to the coronavirus pandemic. The film is now back on the schedule and set to be released on December 23rd, 2020.
So, at least we’ll still get to watch the movie this year! Paramount has also moved A Quiet Place Part II to September 4th, 2020 and the release date for SpongeBob: Sponge on the Run has been moved from May 22nd and will now bow on July 31st, 2020. Meanwhile, their upcoming sci-fi fantasy film The Tomorrow War, which was previously scheduled for December 25, 2020, has been pulled from the schedule.
Top Gun: Maverick has Tom Cruise reprising his role from the original film, and he will be joined by Miles Teller as Goose's son, Val Kilmer, Glen Powell, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Ed Harris, and Lewis Pullman. Here’s the synopsis that was previously released:
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.
We can expect to see some wicked awesome aerial sequences in the film. Cruise previously teased, “There’s never been an aerial sequence shot this way. I don’t know if there ever will be again, to be honest.”
