Tom Cruise starrer 'Top Gun: Maverick' has been pushed back nearly a year and will now release in 2020.

The film, which was earlier slated to hit the big screens on July 12, 2019, will now come out on June 26, 2020, reported The Hollywood Reporter.

Cruise, who is all set to reprise the role of Maverick from his 1986 film 'Top Gun', will reunite with Val Kilmer nearly 35 years after the original was released. The flick also stars Miles Teller and Glen Powell.

'Top Gun: Maverick' will be helmed by Joseph Kosinski - who directed Cruise in the sci-fi thriller 'Oblivion'. Top Gun: Maverick 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. Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced the first film with the late Don Simpson, will produce with Cruise and Skydance CEO David Ellison.
