After years of delaying the release, Paramount finally gave the go-ahead for its high-dollar sequel to the original flick, the new one called “Top Gun: Maverick,” with A-lister Tom Cruise reprising his now-titular role of Maverick, the authority-bucking, uber-talented fighter jock. To the surprise of just about everyone—the first movie was super popular but critically panned—the sequel got rave reviews all around, and pilots went nuts for the flying sequences, many of which were filmed in-cockpit. After making nearly a billion and a half dollars in theaters worldwide, it was released to streaming services, where it is expected to rake in the dough for years to come.
