As it continues to score big at the box office, Paramount head Tom Ryan offers a Top Gun: Maverick streaming release update. The Tom Cruise action movie sequel languished in development hell for over a decade when Paramount first began putting plans together in 2010 for Cruise and Val Kilmer returning with producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Tony Scott. Scott's suicide in 2012 initially put Top Gun: Maverick in turnaround before Joseph Kosinski was brought on in 2017 to take over the director's chair.
Filming on Top Gun: Maverick would finally kick off in mid-2018 and run through early 2019 with plans for it to hit theaters July 2019.

The action sequel would finally take off on May 27 and score rave reviews from critics and audiences alike and set multiple box office records.
