The next trailer of “Top Gun: Maverick” will be releasing soon, lead cast member Tom Cruise has confirmed. The actor has released a poster of the movie online that teases a vintage World War 2 fighter plane.

The sequel is being made after more than three decades, and the fans will see the modern fighters in the US air force. However, the movie will also be exciting for aviation buffs who like to see vintage planes.

Cruise, who will be reprising his role as Maverick, shared a new poster of the upcoming film on his Instagram page. The picture shows the actor in a white t-shirt and jeans, leaning against a vintage prop plane and looking at the sky where two modern fighter jets fly by. The actor also promised in the post that the new trailer will be releasing tomorrow.

Maverick will be seen as a flight instructor in the sequel. The character earned this position towards the end of the first movie, when he faced the enemy fighter jets and won despite being heavily outnumbered.

The plot of “Top Gun: Maverick” is about Cruise’s character training the next generation of fighter pilots, Screen Rant reported. Among the new trainees is the son of Goose (Anthony Edwards), a character who died in the 1986 movie. Miles Teller is playing the role of the son.

In a previous interview with Collider, cast member Jon Hamm revealed that they filmed the movie in 6K. He teased that the director has used some new technology that will give the audience an experience they have never seen before, especially when it comes to high definition “aerial footage” that Hamm said is “mind-blowing.”

One other aspect of “Top Gun: Maverick” is that it is mostly practical effects, with people going up in the sky on real planes, Hamm confirmed. Some of those action sequences will be teased in the next trailer.
