After what felt like a number of major delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the roster of upcoming blockbusters is beginning to be set for the coming months. Among those is Top Gun: Maverick, the long-awaited sequel to the 1986 action classic, which has been hit with multiple release dates over the past few years. According to a new tweet from Christopher McQuarrie — a producer and writer on Maverick and a frequent collaborator with franchise star Tom Cruise — the wait for the project will definitely be more than worth it. Over the weekend, McQuarrie took to Twitter to reveal that he’s “lost count” of how many times he’s seen the final cut of Maverick, and called it “the best film” he’s ever been part of.
I’ve lost count of how many times. The best film I’ve been a part of. I cannot wait to see it unleashed on an audience. https://t.co/G2WHD9Axum
