Top Gun: Maverick is clear for landing at San Diego Comic-Con. Deadline reports that the upcoming sequel to the classic 1986 action-drama will have "some kind of presence" at the convention next month. The site exclusively reports:
We are hearing buzz that Paramount and Skydance Media will be flying Top Gun: Maverick down to San Diego Comic-Con for some kind of presence. Non-studio sources tell us that cast from the pic are already booking hotels and tickets.
Unfortunately, that's all the details we have right now. There' sno confirmation if Tom Cruise will appear, though it seems likely that he would given his history in promoting films.
"He’s very good about event-izing his pics and made a big appearance at Paramount/Skydance’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout CinemaCon session last year," the publication notes.
Top Gun: Maverick filmed in San Diego last summer, and two minutes of footage from the film was shown to CineEurope attendees this week. It's possible that similar footage, or a teaser, could be shared at San Diego Comic-Con.
Tom Cruise will return as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell and surrounding him is an incredible ensemble cast that includes Val Kilmer
