Top Gun: Maverick, the sequel to the hit Tom Cruise film, starring Cruise and Miles Teller has been pushed back nearly a year from July 12, 2019, to June 26, 2020, according to Variety.

Paramount Pictures made the announcement saying that the extra time will give filmmakers the opportunity to work out the logistics of presenting flight sequences with new technology and planes.

The sequel will be set in a world of drone technology and will explore the end of the era of dogfighting, with Cruise portraying a flight instructor.

Joe Kosinski is directing the film, which is a sequel to the 1986 original." Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced the first film, will produce with Cruise and Skydance CEO David Ellison.

Val Kilmer will also reprise his role as Tom "Iceman" Kazansky in the sequel. Jon Hamm, Ed Harris, Lewis Pullman and Monica Barbaro will also star.
