What to know about Top Gun: Maverick
Top Gun: Maverick is a long-awaited sequel to 1986's Top Gun. In the original film, we see students at the US Navy's elite fighter weapons school competing to be the best in the class.
One young pilot, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell (Tom Cruise), learns a few things from a civilian instructor that are not taught in the classroom. Fast forward to the sequel, and after more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Mitchell is still pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and "dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him".

When can you stream Top Gun: Maverick?
- Streaming release date: Likely late summer 2022
Top Gun: Maverick is not yet available to stream online. Paramount Pictures hasn't announced an official streaming release date for the film yet.
Paramount has been adding its movies to Paramount+ about 45 days after their theatrical debuts but there was talk of Top Gun: Maverick having a 120-day theatre exclusive. If that holds, that would mean we wouldn't see it available to stream before 14 September 2022.
It is available to buy digitally in the US though through Amazon, and it will be available in the UK from 24 August.
How to watch Top Gun: Maverick online
- Where to stream online: Likely Paramount+
If you don't want to watch Top Gun: Maverick at your local cinema, you'll be able to buy a digital download from 23 August from Prime Video, Apple TV and others.
As for streaming, given that Top Gun: Maverick is a Paramount film, you can expect it to eventually make its US streaming debut on Paramount+ as opposed to Netflix or HBO Max.
