34 years ago, Tom Cruise rose to fame in the role of Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in Top Gun.

The sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, has been a long time coming and promises to take you on a nostalgic trip right back to the 1986 original.

Cruise reprises his role, except now he’s a flight instructor at the Topgun, the Navy’s Fighter Weapons School at Naval Air Station Miramar.

Familiar ‘Maverick’ moments include Cruise on a motorcycle, playing volleyball, and of course, flying fighter jets.

The Verge has more:

The film also reunites Cruise with Joseph Kosinski, who directed him in the 2013 science fiction film Oblivion. The film also brings back Val Kilmer, and it stars Jon Hamm (Good Omens, Mad Men), Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind, Alita: Battle Angel), Ed Harris (Westworld, Apollo 13), and Miles Teller (Fantastic Four, Only the Brave).

This sequel has been in the works for a while, and Cruise noted back in 2015 that he’d enjoy getting the chance to get back into the cockpit — provided that they didn’t use CGI jets.

The trailer doesn’t tell you much about the storyline, but let’s get real – people will be going to theatres to see Cruise in action.
