Tom Cruise's “Top Gun: Maverick” to release in November

The release of Hollywood star Tom Cruise’s movie “Top Gun: Maverick” has been pushed to November from July.

The film was expected to be one of the biggest releases of the summer blockbuster season. The sequel to the 1986 hit “Top Gun” will now debut in theaters on 19th November, the day Paramount had planned to release Cruise’s seventh “Mission: Impossible” movie.

The film was moved to May 2022, according to Paramount, a unit of ViacomCBS Inc. Moreover, the ninth installment of the action movie “Fast & Furious” franchise remained scheduled to hit cinemas on 25th June. Marvel film’s “Black Widow” is set to be released in theaters, and for a fee on the Disney+ streaming service, on 9th July.

Moreover, Hollywood director Christopher McQuarrie had confirmed that he filmed Tom Cruise’s much-anticipated ‘Mission Impossible’ 7 and 8 in Abu Dhabi for the last few months. The shoot is one of the most high-profile projects being filmed in this region amidst the pandemic.

This is not the first time that the ‘Mission Impossible’ crew has chosen this region to execute their deadly stunt sequences. In 2011, Cruise’s hit character, Ethan Hunt, scaled the Burj Khalifa and filmed a scene where he was seen hanging off the iconic building.
