The question that always comes up whenever a major sequel is released is whether or not it will live up to the original. This applies to every follow-up movie, even one that took nearly four decades to be released, as is the case with Top Gun: Maverick.
Nearly three years after Paramount cleared it for take off in theaters, Top gun 2 is finally set to release on May 27, 2022. Ahead of the film's premiere, Paramount is doing everything to make sure that no one forgets that Tom Cruise will star in a high-flying action flick that's not named Mission: Impossible. The latest Maverick trailer is an exercise in pure and unabashed fan service.
After wowing audiences with its first few minutes last year at CinemaCon 2021, the latest look at the Top Gun sequel is aimed squarely at striking that nostalgia nerve as it brings up Val Kilmer's Tom "Iceman" Kazansky, who is now an Admiral. Maverick's former rival has a new job as the top-ranking pilot while the trailer takes audiences on a trip through the fresh faces of Top Gun 2 including Jon Hamm, Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller, and many more.
