I feel the need. . .the need for speed! OMG - between Ghostbusters and Top Gun, I'm really living my best 1980s life right now. When I heard that a new Top Gun movie was heading our way, I was on board from the beginning. Bringing back Maverick to the big screen is amazing in my eyes. I can't wait to see what this film brings and we just had another trailer released. Let's take a look at what Maverick's up to when he hits theaters in 2020!
I don't know about you, but this trailer brings back that loving feeling! The throwback imagery from the bar scene, the motorcycle ride, the air stunts, and more is everything I hoped it would be. I mention in my reaction video that I didn't feel like I had a good sense of the plot and then, as I was putting this post together, I saw that a plot summary was released with the trailer as well! Now more of the pieces are falling into place and it appears Maverick is going to be reunited with Goose's son (remember. . .he played with him in the piano "Great Balls of Fire" scene in the original?) for some intense training! I'm here for all of this!!!
About Top Gun: Maverick
After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign: “Rooster,” the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose.”
Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.
Top Gun: Maverick releases June 2020 from Paramount Pictures.
