"Top Gun" is the ultimate cult film.
No wonder fans want a Tom Cruise sequel.
Now the start date has been set – what does that mean for Netflix users?
Top Gun 2: Maverick was supposed to hit theaters in Summer 2019.
But then the start was repeatedly postponed.
Now there is a new trailer and a new start date.
But that's not all: director Joseph Kosinski revealed that in addition to leading actor Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer will also return as Tom 'Iceman' Kazansky.
We reveal more about the start and show the current trailer.
Top Gun 2: Maverick: Netflix wanted to buy the film
Due to the corona pandemic, the start of some cinema films had to be postponed.
Others were even sold to streaming services like Amazon Prime Video* or Netflix.
The comedy "The Prince from Zamunda 2" was bought by Amazon as a result.
Netflix, on the other hand, was able to secure the drama "The Trial of the Chicago 7".
The streaming giant had also shown great interest in "Top Gun 2: Maverick" - and
Apple also tried its luck
.
Ultimately, however, the Hollywood studio Paramount made it clear that the blockbuster should start in cinemas.
After all, the flight scenes were shot with special Imax cameras, which cost a lot of money.
The action film is said to have cost almost
152 million dollars
.
Both Apple and Netflix would certainly have raised the money.
In any case, the new trailer shows that fans can expect action-packed scenes.
