This would be the first time in 30 years that a Cruise picture has aired at Cannes since the Ron Howard-directed 'Far and Away' premiered in 1992. It would not, however, serve as the global premiere for 'Top Gun: Maverick,' as that is scheduled to take place in San Diego, where the original film was set.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Joseph Kosinski-direc

ted 'Top Gun' sequel has had a lengthy journey to the screen owing to COVID demands on the cinema sector. The first trailer for the film was revealed in 2019 at the San Diego Comic-Con.
