In May 2022, Top Gun: Maverick flew into theaters and left everyone enamored with Tom Cruise's triumphant return to the big screen. Nearing four decades after the original Top Gun captured audiences, the highly-anticipated sequel about Pete "Maverick" Mitchell has earned critical acclaim as well. What's more, the movie had success the 2023 Oscars, winning a trophy for Best Sound. And if that wasn't enough, the movie's unprecedented success led to the January 2024 announcement of Top Gun 3 officially in the works with some famous names reprising some iconic roles.
For those who don't remember, Top Gun: Maverick is set 36 years after the first installment. This time around, Maverick finds himself training an entirely new class of Top Gun recruits (Miles Teller, Glen Powell and Jay Ellis). While he's busy confronting his past (after all, the son of Maverick's dead best friend Goose is among the rookie pilots), familiar faces pop up through the film.
Namely, viewers will instantly recognize Val Kilmer reprising his role as Maverick's former foe-turned-friend Tom "Iceman" Kazansky. But as this all occurs, Maverick realizes he needs to deal with old demons before going on a mission, which may change the lives of those who ultimately choose to partake in it.
Now, with the announcement of another movie in development, there might be a few questions lingering — like how to watch and stream Top Gun: Maverick at home.
