Top Gun: Maverick

Top Gun: Maverick is a 2022 American action drama film directed by Joseph Kosinski and written by Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer, and Christopher McQuarrie, from a story by Peter Craig and Justin Marks. The sequel to Top Gun (1986) and the second installment in the Top Gun film series, the film stars Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer reprising their roles from the original film, alongside Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, and Ed Harris. It follows Maverick confronting his past while training a group of younger TOPGUN graduates, including the son of his deceased best friend.
Development on a Top Gun sequel was announced in 2010 by Paramount Pictures. Cruise and Kilmer were approached to return in their roles from the original, as were producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Tony Scott. By mid-2012 a draft of the screenplay was finished. However, on August 19 of that year, Scott died by suicide and the film's pre-production was put on hold. The film is dedicated to Scott's memory. In June 2017, Kosinski was hired and wrote a new draft of the script. Principal photography took place from May 2018 to April 2019 in California, Washington, D.C., and Maryland. The film was shot using IMAX-certified 6K full-frame cameras. Its release was initially scheduled for release in 2019, but was delayed first by efforts to shoot several complex action sequences, and then by the COVID-19 pandemic and scheduling conflicts, up until it was finally released in 2022.
The film was released on DVD, Blu-Ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray in the United Kingdom and Ireland on October 31, 2022, and in the United States and Canada a day later on November 1, 2022, by Paramount Home Entertainment.
