Los Angeles (AP) - The action film “Top Gun: Maverick” with Hollywood star Tom Cruise should be a highlight of the cinema summer in 2020.

But because of the corona pandemic, there were postponements - from July 2020 to December, then to July 2021.

Now the fans have to be patient even longer.

The new edition of the blockbuster “Top Gun” from 1986 is not due to start in the USA until mid-November, as the Paramount studio announced on Friday.

Cruise plays the role of the former fighter pilot Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, who now works as a flight instructor.

An earlier video clip gave a foretaste of death defying maneuvers over deserts and snow-covered mountain ranges.

Because of the Corona crisis with worldwide closed cinemas and difficult filming, many Hollywood studios are changing their start dates.

The "Mission: Impossible" series with Tom Cruise as agent Ethan Hunt is also affected.

The theatrical release of the seventh part was postponed from November to May 2022.

Number eight is not due to start until July 2023.
