50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2021

28. Top Gun: Maverick

Though the upcoming Top Gun sequel - released 35 years after the original and sadly without late original director Tony Scott - is very much a "coin flip movie," audiences will be practically gagging for some splashy, eye-popping big-screen entertainment by the summer (assuming the release date sticks).

With Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer returning alongside new cast members Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, and Ed Harris, it won't leave viewers wanting for star power.

But the secret weapon will surely be director Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy, Oblivion), who is extremely adept at delivering a gorgeous spectacle no matter the quality of the script.

Release Date: July 2
