Top Gun: Maverick is the perfect kickoff for the summer blockbuster season, and dare I say that it’s better than the original? Audiences lost their mind back in 1986 when Tom Cruise played aviator Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, and now Maverick’s cocky and reckless attitude is back. He’s never backed down from being a Navy aviator and is considered the fastest man alive as he pushes boundaries, yet again, literally soaring to new heights testing fighter jets. He’s been brought in for a highly confidential mission to train young recruits to take out a Uranium plant. The mission is one that’s bittersweet, as it reunites him with his old sparring partner, Iceman, played once again by Val Kilmer. Maverick’s other big reunion comes with Rooster Bradshaw, a young trainee played by Miles Teller. Their relationship starts off rocky given he’s the son of Maverick’s best friend, Goose, who tragically died in the first film. In theaters May 27, 2022
