We’ll all have to wait a little longer to see the much-anticipated follow-up to iconic 1980s American action film Top Gun, titled Top Gun: Maverick. Paramount just announced (via The Hollywood Reporter) that the sequel film starring Tom Cruise, originally slated to be released in June, will now hit theaters on December 23rd.
Top Gun: Maverick is the latest Hollywood film to be pulled from and/or shifted on the 2020 release schedule in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic which has seen many theaters in the United States and internationally closed for the foreseeable future.
Most early summer blockbusters have been moved to later in the summer (e.g. Warner Bros. decision to move Wonder Woman: 1984 from June to August), but, according to, via THR, “Paramount insiders,” the decision to move Maverick all the way into December is to allow Cruise time to prepare for Mission Impossible 7.
