Tom Cruise will be returning as Maverick in the sequel to his 1986 hit, Top Gun. Paramount Studios will be releasing the film on July 12, 2019, and Joseph Kosinski (Oblivion, TRON: Legacy) is rumored to direct the film. Val Kilmer is supposedly interested in returning as Iceman, but he may have to put on some muscle, especially if they plan another volleyball scene...
Cruise said recently the title would be “Top Gun: Maverick” although Paramount listed the title Friday only as “Top Gun.” “Maverick” was Cruise’s character’s nickname in the film in which he played Naval aviator Lt. Pete Mitchell. The movie is the first title to land on the July 12, 2019, release date. It will open a week after Sony’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming” sequel. The original film, directed by the late Tony Scott and set at the Navy’s Fighter Weapons School at Miramar Naval Air Station in San Diego, was a massive hit with more than $350 million in worldwide grosses.
