Tom Cruise Returns To The Danger Zone On “Top Gun” [WATCH TRAILER]

Tom Cruise surprisingly returns at Santiego Comic-Con on Thursday to hype the forthcoming “Top Gun: Maverick” and receive mass adoration from Hall H.

“I felt it was my responsibility to deliver for you,” Cruise told the crowd, tugging local heartstrings by reminiscing on the original “Top Gun” shoot in Downtown San Diego.

Cruise appeared on the tail end of the “Terminator: Dark Fate” panel, another movie from Paramount and Skydance, and said “to me, ‘Top Gun’ is about competition.” In the trailer shown, that sentiment is alive and well, but it’s not about skilled pilots fighting against machines — this time, they’re battling drones.

“You’re a dinosaur,” a high-ranking official played by Ed Harris tells Cruise’s pilot, now an instructor trying to thrive in a military reliant on drones.
