Top Gun: Maverick, the long-awaited follow-up to Tom Cruise's 1986 flyboy classic, is pulling out of its Nov. 19, 2021 release date and landing on May 27, 2022.
This is the fourth delay for Top Gun: Maverick since the COVID-19 pandemic began, but more urgently, it's the first major movie to bail on a fall 2021 release amid the Delta variant surge.
The move causes a Cruise ripple effect, with fellow Paramount tentpole Mission: Impossible 7 now headed for Sept. 30, 2022, having previously held the May 27 slot.
