Tom Cruise features heavily in the trailer although most of the time he is piloting an aircraft, on the few occasions we do see his character Maverick you can see every one of the 30 plus years since the original.
The trailer is very somber but we get no big clue as to the story other than Maverick is getting too old.
It looks like Maverick is still struggling to get over the death of his best friend Goose and if leaked story clues are to be believed he is training Gooses son to be a pilot who we saw briefly in the original Top Gun and we see Miles Teller in the trailer as the grown up version.
There are some nice nods to the original film but outside of Cruise it's still unclear who else will return other than Val Kilmer as Iceman.
Check out the trailer below, but we do still have a full year before release.
