Paramount has released the second trailer for Top Gun: Maverick, the studio’s long-anticipated sequel to the action classic about a U.S. Navy pilot’s daring airborne exploits starring the 29-year-old part-Mexican American actress.
The new footage unveils a little more plot of the film, with Tom Cruise’s fighter pilot Maverick now in an instructor role, training the next generation of pilots including Miles Teller’s Bradley Bradshaw, the son of the character Goose from the original movie.
Maverick appears to be putting his recruits through an intense training program, with the trailer featuring one hair-raising shot where he flies his jet narrowly between two of their planes.
It appears the film will also contain a tragic subplot, with shots of Maverick and Jennifer Connelly’s character – reportedly playing the protagonist’s love interest – getting emotional while attending a Navy funeral.
Rounding out the footage are the expected motorcycle shots, dialogue exchanges highlighting Maverick’s disregard for authority, plus some shirtless volleyball for good measure.
In addition to Cruise, Connelly and Barbaro, who portrays pilot trainee “Phoenix,”the movie’s cast also includes Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Charles Parnell, Bashir Salahuddin, Jay Ellis, Danny Ramirez, Greg Tarzan Davis and Ed Harris.
The film, directed by Joseph Kosinski, flies into theaters on June 26, 2020.
There’s more star trekkin’in Santiago Cabrera’s future…
Star Trek: Picard, starring the half-Chilean Venezuelan actor, has been given the green light for a second season before its series debut next month.
Like the first season of the series that’ll premiere on CBS All Access on January 23, Season 2 of the Patrick Stewart-led Picard looks to be a 10-episode order for the streamer.

CBS declined to comment on a Season 2 for the Cabrera, Michelle Hurd, Alison Pill, Harry Treadaway and Evan Evagora co-starring series. But, with plans already publicly in place for current showrunner Michael Chabon to shift roles in a second season, the Next Gen alum Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner and Jeri Ryan featuring Picard was clearly going for that next final frontier with seems sure to be a big draw and a flagship show for the relatively new and bulking up subscription-based streamer.
The series is produced by CBS Television Studios, Secret Hideoutand Roddenberry Entertainment.
Star Trek: Picardwill drop new episodes weekly for Season 1 on CBS All Access and is expected to do the same for the late 2020 or early 2021 penciled in Season 2.

First having given fans a real taste of the series at San Diego Comic-Con last summer, the cast and producers of Picardstepped around the issue of a Season 2 at the Brazilian Comic-Con in Sao Paulo last week. Now they don’t have to be so light footed.

The 35-year-old Cuban American actress/model will guest star in CBS All Access’ adaptation of “The Stand,“ based on Stephen King’s novel of the same name, according to Variety.
The Stand begins with a nanosecond of computer error and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And thus begins the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of institutions and emptied of 99% of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides, or are chosen. A world in which good rides on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abigail, and the worst nightmares of evil are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the dark man.
Martinez began her career as the spokesmodel for Jennifer Lopez’s fashion line and has since gone on to star in “Self/less” opposite Ryan Reynoldsand Warner Bros. “Reminiscence,” which is currently filming.
Her previous television credits include The I-Land, Kingdom, Under the Domeand CSI: NY.
