Paramount updates : Top Gun : Maverick latest victim of COVID-19

This news is no doubt going to devastate a few people, with Paramount announcing that the sequel we’ve waited over 30 years for has been delayed. “Top Gun: Maverick” has officially been pushed out until December 23rd, making it a Christmas release instead of a mid-year one.

“Maverick” is a sequel to the 1986 film “Top Gun”, also starring Tom Cruise, and has been one we’ve all been looking forward to for quite some time now. Cruise, over 30 years after the first film, reprises his role as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in “Top Gun: Maverick.” In the sequel, Cruise returns to flight school to train Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission. Val Kilmer will reprise his role as Maverick’s rival Iceman, while Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm and Glen Powell joined the cast.

Paramount have also given “A Quiet Place Part II” a new date after delaying it in March – it will now be released September 4th, 2020. “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run” was originally going to be released on May 22 and will now come out July 31, 2020. Meanwhile sci-fi fantasy film “The Tomorrow War,” previously scheduled for Dec. 25, 2020, is now undated.
