A new and official trailer for TOP GUN: MAVERICK has hit the San Diego Comic-Con tarmac, ladies and gentlemen!
Helming the high-flying follow-up is director Joseph Kosinski (TRON: LEGACY, OBLIVION, ONLY THE BRAVE), who will shoot from a script penned by Peter Craig (THE TOWN, BLOOD FATHER), Justin Marks (THE JUNGLE BOOK, COUNTERPART) and Eric Warren Singer (AMERICAN HUSTLE, THE INTERNATIONAL).
Of course, Cruise will be returning to his iconic role as ace pilot Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, only this time around he'll be acting as an instructor in charge of showing new recruits the ways of slicing through the big blue. Kilmer will also reprise his role as Mitchell's bitey rival, Tom "Iceman" Kazansky. Meanwhile, Connelly will play a new character who owns a watering hole located near the Naval base, while Miles Teller is set to act as the son of Maverick's deceased co-pilot, Goose.
Moving on down the line, Thomasin McKenzie will play Connelly's daughter, with Charles Parnell serving as an admiral in charge doling out orders. Jay Ellis will step onto the scene as one of the new pilots, with GLOW actor Bashir Salahuddin arriving as a savvy engineer. Danny Ramirez and Monica Barbaro will also take to the skies, with Barbaro keeping a keen eye on Teller's actions and talents. The highly-anticipated film also stars Tim Robbins, Kelly McGillis, Glen Powell and Jennifer Connelly.
As the trailer for TOP GUN: MAVERICK continues to break the sound barrier, we find Cruise's Pete "Maverick" Mitchell being grilled by a surly Ed Harris for his questionable career choices. Be that as it may, it's not long before we see Mitchell taking to the skies, once again, proving beyond the shadow of a doubt that he's still got the right stuff. What comes next is a montage that's bound to give fans of the original chills, as we're treated to bits of intense character drama as well as plenty of hot-dogging through a gorgeous blue yonder.
