Top Gun: Maverick release date
Paramount Pictures had originally scheduled to release the film in July 2019. However, the date was moved several times to allow the re-filming of some flight sequences, but also due to the COVID-19 pandemic and tight schedules.
The film had its world premiere at CinemaCon on 28 April 2022 and a screening at the Cannes Film Festival on 18 May in an Official Selection Screening. It was one of the most awaited events of the festival with a star-studded premiere. The Patrouille de France flew over the festival as the crew and actors were on the red carpet, and Tom Cruise received an Honorary Palme d'Or ahead of the screening.
The UK premiere marked the 72nd Royal Film Performance, raising money for the Film and TV Charity in support of those behind the scenes. Top Gun: Maverick was released in the UK on 25 May 2022.
The story
After 30 years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Pete Mitchell is where he belongs — pioneering as a brave test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him.
He finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a special mission and encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), the son of Maverick's late friend.
Facing an uncertain future and confronting ghosts of the past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.
The all-star cast includes Tom Cruise as Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, Jennifer Connelly as Penelope "Penny" Benjamin, and Miles Teller as Lieutenant Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw.
