New Delhi:
As ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ is out now, the actor Tom Cruise expressed his excitement about repeating his role as Lt. Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell after 36 years.
“36 years after the first film, #TopGun: Maverick is finally here. We made it for the big screen. And we made it for you, the fans. I hope you enjoy the ride this weekend,” he tweeted.
The film is a sequel to the 1986 hit movie ‘Top Gun’. It was filmed well over two years ago and was one of many major Hollywood titles that became long-delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
‘Maverick’ is set over thirty years after the events of the first film and sees Maverick returning to the Top Gun institute and training a group of graduates, including Rooster, the son of his late wingman Goose, for a specialised mission.
Top Gun: Maverick was premiered across the world including London, Mexico City, and Japan. The film also premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. The movie received a six-minute long standing ovation and after the show, Tom was awarded the honorary Palme d’Or award.
Joseph Kosinski has helmed the second part. Other cast includes Miles Teller, Val Kilmer, and Jennifer Connelly.
