We’re feeling the need for speed right now.
33 years since the original Top Gun, Tom Cruise doesn’t have a hair out of place reprising his old role of Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell in the trailer for Top Gun Maverick.
The trailer pretty much confirms that the film will be visually stunning and maintain pretty much an identical aura to its predecessor. Even Miles Teller’s character, the son of Maverick’s dead pal Goose, looks exactly like his father did in the original film.
Plot-wise, Tom Cruise seems to have been called back to the Air Force in order to teach a new crop of aviators how to do reckless things in the sky.
Knowing that Cruise insists on doing pretty much all his stunts, or at least the ones that are humanly possible, makes the crazy stuff going on below even more exciting.
As well as Cruise and Teller, the film also stars Jennifer Connelly, Val Kilmer, Danny Ramirez, Jon Hamm and Ed Harris.
We suspect that fans of the original are going to like what they see:
