Taking to Twitter, Cruise shared his excitement over the release of his new film and wrote, “36 years after the first film, #TopGun: Maverick is finally here. We made it for the big screen.

I hope you enjoy the ride this weekend.” Apart from Cruise, the film also stars Jon Hamm, Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller, Glen Powell, Monica Barbaro, Greg Tarzan Davis, and Jay Ellis in lead roles. 

The trailers and promos of the film have shown how it’s going to be an out and out action-adventure and in a promotional video for the film, Cruise previously also revealed the intense training he designed for his co-stars before they began shooting for the film. He said, “We worked with the Navy and the Top Gun school to formulate how to shoot it practically. Because if we’re gonna do it, we’re gonna fly in the F-18.” 

Tom previously also gushed about his co-stars calling them “extraordinary” as he maintained that he’s thrilled to see what they have accomplished during the course of filming. The film directed by Joseph Kosinski is all set to hit the screens on May 27.
