Paramount Pictures shared a trailer for the Top Gun sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, featuring original star Tom Cruise as test pilot Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell.  The original film opened in theaters in May 1986.

Top Gun: Maverick will have its world premiere May 18 at the Cannes Film Festival, ahead of its release in theaters May 27. Cruise will also be honored with a career retrospective at the Cannes Film Festival.
