Top Gun: Maverick (トップガン マーヴェリック) is the 2022 sequel to the original 1986 Top Gun film about the US Navy's Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program, of which TOPGUN is the stylized or popularly known name.
Deemed both a commercial and critical success, the film returns both Tom Cruise in the starring role as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, now a captain, as well as Val Kilmer as Tom "Iceman" Kazansky – Kilmer's final role before his death in 2025.
In Japan, Paramount and Cygames announced a promotional collaboration with Umamusume, naming Mayano Top Gun, whose namesake horse was named in part after the original 1986 movie, as a special advertising pilot.
