Top Gun was the 1980s movie about navy pilots, which became very popular in many countries. The biggest star of the movie was Tom Cruise. He played a pilot, Pete Mitchell, who had a nickname Maverick.

Filmmakers made a sequel to Top Gun called Top Gun: Maverick, and they planned its premiere in September 2020. They had to change the date because of the coronavirus. The new date was July 2021, but it changed again to November 2021. Tom Cruise is a star of another movie called Mission: Impossible 7, and its premiere will be in 2022.

Paramount Pictures is an American film studio which made both movies. It seems that the company is waiting for the right time to release the movies in all the world. People in many countries cannot go to cinemas now, and the company wants to make a lot of many from selling the tickets.

Difficult words: sequel (a book or movie which continues a story which began in another book or movie), premiere (when people can watch a movie, TV show, or play for the first time), release (to make a film available for people to watch it).
