‘Top Gun’ Sequel Release Delayed Four Months, Until November

The Paramount Pictures action sequel “Top Gun: Maverick” will be released in November, four months later than expected, as the studio reshuffles its calendar.

The action movie, in which Tom Cruise continues the story started in the 1986 classic film, has been a victim of the pandemic. It was initially scheduled for release in 2019 but was delayed for production reasons, then pushed back again after the Covid-19 crisis forced movie theaters to close. It is now expected to come out on Nov. 19, when most U.S. and European theaters should be open again.
