A new Top Gun: Maverick trailer arrives offering a deeper look at the special mission the titular hero is training for and the return of Val Kilmer. Picking up 30 years after its predecessor, the film once again centers on test pilot Pete «Maverick» Mitchell as he is enlisted by the military to train a new group of Top Gun graduates for a unique mission that will push them all to their limits. Maverick will be forced to not only confront his own abilities and aging but also the ghosts of his past as one of the younger pilots is Lt. Bradley «Rooster» Bradshaw, his late friend Goose's son.
Tom Cruise is once again leading the cast of Top Gun: Maverick alongside Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Ed Harris and Val Kilmer, the latter of whom is reprising his role as Iceman from the original film. Development on a Top Gun sequel has languished in hell for over a decade, only finally getting off the ground when Peter Craig and Justin Marks were brought on to develop the story while Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer and Mission: Impossible's Christopher McQuarrie penned the script and Oblivion's Joseph Kosinski was tapped to helm. After multiple delays, Top Gun: Maverick is gearing up to hit theaters in May and now audiences are getting an exciting new look at the upcoming sequel.
