Second Trailer Released For Top Gun: Maverick [Video]

Earlier today, Paramount Pictures released the new second trailer for Top Gun: Maverick, the highly anticipated sequel to the 1986 film Top Gun. Details about the plot were also included:

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.

As reported when the first trailer was released, the new film will apparently focus on the F-18, although the familiar F-14 also makes an appearance, as does a P-51D Mustang.

Top Gun: Maverick is currently slated to hit theaters on June 26, 2020. Click below to check out the new trailer.
