Set for release June 26, the film once again stars Cruise as U.S. Navy pilot Pete "Maverick" Mitchell. It is the sequel to the 1986 blockbuster Top Gun. The sequel's cast will also include Miles Teller as the son of the late character Goose (Anthony Edwards.) Val Kilmer will reprise his role as Iceman, and Jennifer Connelly, Glen Powell, Monica Barbaro, Jon Hamm and Ed Harris round out the ensemble.

The sequel will follow Maverick in the present day as he deals with the rise of drone technology which is making his style of jet fighter flying obsolete. Cruise's character will also take Teller's character under his wing as a new protege.
