A Sequel 35 years in the making, Top Gun: Maverick has been given a 12A age rating in the UK by the BBFC for infrequent strong language.
The movie stars Tom Cruise who was last seen in Mission:Impossible - Fallout returns as fighter pilot Maverick and Jennifer Connelly who we last saw as Chiren in Alita: Battle Angel.
The movie is directed by Joseph Kosinski who has previously directed Tom Cruise in Oblivion and also directed sequel movie TRON Legacy.
Movie Synopsis
After more than 30 years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. Training a detachment of graduates for a special assignment, Maverick must confront the ghosts of his past and his deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who choose to fly it.

Disney and their top computer animation studio Pixar are dipping into the Toy Story universe again and releasing an origins movie, Lightyear.Here’s a first look of the young test pilot that became the Space Ranger we all know him to be today.

Based on the fan favourite character Buzz Lightyear the movie is being billed as the definitive story of the character which was voiced by Tim Allen on the 4 movies.
Stepping up this time os Chris Evans who will voice the fames Space Ranger as his younger self.
Its an interesting concept to bring up an origins story based on a character which is a living toy, toys don't age!
All the toy story films, including the fourth one, where excellent and there is no doubt that if anyone can pull this off its Pixar.
Release date, in the US at least, is 22 June 2022, all being well with the world by then.
