Watch ‘Top Gun Maverick’ Free Online Streaming at Home

More than 35 years after the original Top Gun, the Tom Cruise blockbuster is getting a sequel in the form of Top Gun: Maverick. Joining a long list of much-delayed follow-ups, will Top Gun: Maverick be able to capture the magic of the original?

In the original, Top Gun (1986), a young Cruise stars as hot-shot pilot Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, as he and his co-pilot Goose (Anthony Edwards) take part in the Navy’s top school for elite fighter pilots. Maverick likes to push it to the limit, but that gets him in trouble, and his confidence gets shaken following a tragic accident. But the happy ending prevails, and he saves the day and gets the girl.

Top Gun remains a fan favorite to this day, thanks to numerous factors, including a star-making turn from Tom Cruise, memorable supporting characters like Anthony Edwards’ Goose and Val Kilmer’s Iceman, great ’80s tunes like “Danger Zone” and “Take My Breath Away” and incredible aerial sequences. Talk about a sequel that has been swirling for years, and now its arrival is imminent.

When is the Top Gun: Maverick release date?

After a few stops and starts, Top Gun: Maverick arrives in theaters on May 27 in the US and May 25 in the UK, making it a significant summer blockbuster for 2022.

Top Gun: Maverick was shifted to its new Memorial Day weekend date after it was initially due for release in summer 2020. Of course, it got moved, along with every significant blockbuster, because of the pandemic. Fans hoped it would land in 2021, but it eventually was pushed to 2022.

The May 27 release date for Top Gun: Maverick is the start of the movie’s exclusive run in movie theaters. People can now purchase tickets to Top Gun: Maverick when it comes out, including for a special early screening on May 24.

 

We don’t know when Top Gun: Maverick will make its way to streaming, but we can bet it will debut on Paramount Plus.

When is Top Gun: Maverick’s streaming release date?

Paramount hasn’t yet confirmed a streaming release date for the Top Gun sequel. But understanding the company’s past practice can help make educated guesses about when it’ll be available to stream. 

For movies similar to Top Gun, Paramount has tended to give them at least 45 days exclusively in theaters before making them available to stream on Paramount Plus. If Top Gun: Maverick follows a 45-day timeline, it’ll become available to stream roughly around July 9.

But Paramount doesn’t make films available to stream like clockwork. Jackass Forever, released in theaters in February, landed on Paramount Plus almost precisely 45 days after hitting cinemas, and March’s The Lost City did too. But another recent Paramount movie — Scream, which hit theaters late last year — took roughly a week longer at about 53 days. 

And Paramount may choose to keep Top Gun: Maverick in theaters longer because it’s a megabudget, blockbuster-style movie; these so-called “tent pole” films rely on box office success more than other movies. Some rival distributors are already doing the same with their tentpoles: Disney has been keeping Marvel movies only in theaters for more than two months, nearly as long as theatrical exclusives lasted pre-pandemic. 

Who is in the Top Gun: Maverick cast?

Tom Cruise will be just shy of 60 when Top Gun: Maverick is released, but there is no way Hollywood was going to make Top Gun 2 and not have him back in the cockpit of a fighter jet. Maverick remains one of Cruise’s most iconic roles, so you can’t have a Top Gun movie without the star reprising the character.

Cruise isn’t the only cast member returning from the original film. Maverick’s frenemy is back, as Val Kilmer will once again play Iceman. Anyone who has seen the documentary Val on Prime Video knows that Kilmer currently uses a voice box to speak after battling throat cancer. The Cruise was adamant that Kilmer would return for the sequel despite his health concerns.

There will also be plenty of new faces in Top Gun: Maverick. Key to the plot is Miles Teller, who will be playing Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw, the son of Maverick’s old co-pilot Goose. Other new members of the cast include Jennifer Connelly, Ed Harris, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Manny Jacinto, Monica Barbaro, Jean Louis Kelly, Raymond Lee, Jay Ellis and Charles Parnell.
