Top Gun 2: Maverick:

After the release of Top Gun, fans didn't know whether there would be a sequel. But as always, Tom Cruise never disappoints his fans. This time, he came up with a surprise. It's not just what he revealed about the sequel. But he also comes up with more surprises in the movie. 

In addition to the news from Tom, fans are stimulated, and they don't want to see the upcoming movie. This time, the new director, Joseph Kosinski, is making this sequel, and fans have high expectations from him. At the same time, the movie's producers are Jerry Bruckheimer and are no other than Tom Cruise.

Meanwhile, the film follows the same plot as the first part of Top Gun. Somehow, some fan-made posters were posted on social media. These posters set fans on fire, and they can't wait to see the official poster. 

Simultaneously, fans were also waiting for the official trailer of the movie. To satisfy the audience, the panel decided to release the official trailer. 

Once again, after the Top Gun jacket, fans started to fall for the Top Gun 2 Jacket again. In one scene, Tom appears in a green jacket with some stickers. Just after this scene, Tom can be seen riding a bike while wearing the same coat, and he is undoubtedly giving a killer look. 



Trailer: 

The panel was receiving a massive response from the fans. Firstly, the initial dates were revealed on July 12, 2019. But no sooner the dates were changed than they went for a year-long break. The new dates were set for July 17ly, 2020. Besides this, the official trailer was released in August 2019. 

The old trailer that was posted two years back. It has had 36M views in total till now. But the latest trailer got 19M till now within a time of three views. This clearly shows how impatient the audience is waiting for the movie. 

Somehow, the trailer went viral, and in no time, fans got more excited to see the movie. Meanwhile, fans were waiting for the movie. On the other hand, no one was aware that such a pandemic would happen. Things got to change, and in no time, meetings were called by the panel to rethink the release dates.  


Pandemic Delay: 

Again, the panel had to put a stone on their hearts. An online press conference was held. The panel decided to go for a pandemic break. At first, they decided to postpone it until December—the new date was December 23er, 2020. But again the dates got changed. 

Furthermore, they planned to release it after such delays in July 2021, but that was later again shifted to November 2021. According to some resources, the actual reasons were something else. The initial delay was due to Paramount Pictures wanting additional time to present flight sequences with new planes and technology. 

As per resources, after the release of the new trailer, the film might not discourage the filmmakers and box office on the occasion of its official release. The audience is still showing patience for this movie. Their hard work can be seen in the trailer. 


Date of Release:

In addition to such delays, finally Tom breaks the ice in the press. Tom also posted on social media; "I know many of you have waited 34 years. Unfortunately, it will be a little longer." Finally, the latest and longest trailer for the film so far was released on TuesdaMarch 29, 2022. 

The trailer showed hope to fans for the movie no sooner after its release. Now, the latest date is May 27, 2022. This time, fans are wishing that the panel would not change the dates. The film was announced back in 2010. But after years of development, the film saw a significant hiccup in its development with Scott's suicide in 2012. 

After years, they started shooting and somehow finalized the shooting in 2019. Now, it's been three more years, yet the film has not been released. After the release of the new trailer, fans were stimulated. Now, everyone is waiting for the release of the movie.



The Cast:

Tom Cruise and his co-stars play the leading role. Tom Cruise as Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, a flight instructor. There is a new entry of Miles Teller, who can be seen as Lieutenant Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw, a pilot trainee and the son of Maverick's late RIO and best friend, Nick "Goose" Bradshaw. 

Another character that can be seen is Jennifer Connelly as Penny Benjamin, Maverick's new love interest, who is a single mother, bar owner, and the daughter of a former admiral. Moreover, Jon Hamm can be seen as Vice Admiral "Cyclone". Glen Powell as Lieutenant "Hangman" Seresin, a pilot trainee.

In addition, the performance of all these actors and actresses is mind-blowing. The selected cast fits their particular role. People can never forget such roles, as the story is as bold as the cast. 


Marketing and Social Campaigns:

Every star started campaigning for this film from the very first day after being selected, as everyone in the reading session liked the story of this movie. Besides this, the marketing team is working along with the co-stars. They have been doing a great job. The strategies they have adapted with time are phenomenal. 

Everything resulted beyond one's expectations, from releasing the first trailer to another new trailer. They also called press conferences to keep the audience updated. 

However, fans are still waiting for the final release of this movie. Tom Cruise and his work are loved by many. In addition to his work, he is known for both of his projects: Top Gun 2 and the Mission Impossible sequel.  

Stars are posting updates on their social accounts, which is also helping them reach more audiences individually. Everyone is sharing their moments on the set. Moreover, you can check their accounts. There, you can see their funny moments with each other as well. 

Also, the cast visits different cities and shows at the same time. To do promotions for their so-awaited movie. No, sooner you will see their work on big screens. As per the news, their work is going to fly for sure. Not just on the screens, at the box office, and in fans' hearts. 


Behind The Scenes:

No doubt fans are looking for behind-the-scenes footage, as everyone loves to see stunts performed by Tom. Tom allows the stuntman to perform some of the stunts on his behalf. Rather than this, most of the stunts are performed by Tom himself, as he loves to perform stunts and learn new things. 

While performing such dangerous stunts, Tom puts his life at risk. Sometimes, he gets hurt as well. If you remember, while performing a stunt in the Mission Impossible sequel, Tom jumped from one high roof to another. Somehow, he made it but crushed his leg on the roof. He was in pain, but he continued the shot. This is just one incident that later got such a positive response from the audience for his dedication. 

In Top Gun, there is a scene that you can observe in the trailer as well. Tom is wearing a Top Gun 2 Jacket and riding a bike; not just riding; he can be seen racing with an army jet plane. For example, if you watch the clip, you might assume the bike's speed by his expressions. Meanwhile, there is a suitable gap if you compare the speed of a plane and a motorcycle. 

After this, he also performed some stunts on the jet plane. He can be seen playing around with the plane. There is also some VFX touch at the back in some scenes, but not every time, as you can objectify the difference between VFX shots and average camera shots. Tom also mentioned this in the press conference; "everything you see in this film is authentic,"


Conclusion:

You are suggested to go for Top Gun first and then watch the sequel. You can also check both jackets inspired by movies. The Top Gun jacket and the Top Gun 2 jacket both have different fan bases. The fans loved both despite the time factor. 

Therefore, the ratings of both movies are high. Top Gun was a superhit of its time, and now everyone is hoping the same for Top Gun 2. But still, all we have to do is wait until May.
