“You can be my wingman any time.” 

Those words still live with us every single day since the release of the original 1986 Top Gun film. All hoping for more, begging for more because if you didn’t fall in love with Maverick and this film, then you just didn’t like films or Tom Cruise.

Well, good news!!!  After 32 years of waiting, a sequel is in the making called Top Gun: Maverick. It’s set to reprise the 1986 film’s drama and romance surrounding an elite force of naval aviators. This sequel, however, will be focused on Maverick as an instructor and their teams exploring the world of drone technology, fifth-generation fighters and ending an era of dog-fighting.

Tom Cruise is returning to play Pete “Maverick” Mitchell along Val Kilmer returning to play Iceman. Newly announced cast members include Jon Hamm, Miles Teller, Glen Powell, Ed Harris, Jennifer Connelly, Monica Barbaro, Jay Ellis and Thomasin McKenzie.

Thankfully, the wait for the sequel isn’t terribly long. It will hit theaters July 12, 2019. While we wait, this fan-made Top Gun: Maverick teaser trailer will get us through until an official look hits the Internet.
