One of the underdogs this year in cinema came from the return of a popular 80s franchise and many are wondering when they can watch the high-octane flying from home. We confirm the release time of Top Gun: Maverick on Paramount Plus.
Maverick became the highest-grossing film of 2022, the second film to gross $1 billion after the pandemic, and the highest-grossing film in Tom Cruise’s filmography.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski and written by Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer, and Christopher McQuarrie and based on a story by Peter Craig and Justin Marks, Top Gun: Maverick is a direct sequel to the 1986 film Top Gun, returning to protagonist aviator, Maverick, who must confront his past while training new recruits.
