The wait is finally over – Top Gun: Maverick has just hit the big screen after many, many delays and it’s already causing quite the stir at the box office. One question remains though – can you watch the film from the comfort of your own home?
It’s been 36 years since the original Top Gun hit screens and the sequel has been eagerly anticipated since it was announced that Tom Cruise would be reprising his role as Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell.
While it’s only been out for a short period, the sequel is already becoming something of a phenomenon. It’s been raking in the cash at the box office and received scores of impressive reviews, easily making it one of the must-see movies of the summer.

During the past couple of years, the idea of releasing a movie direct to streaming services has become a lot more common. However Top Gun: Maverick, at this current time, is purely a cinematic release with no option to buy or rent the movie at home.
When it does come to streaming, Top Gun: Maverick is likely to stream on Paramount Plus (currently available in the USA and arriving in the UK on June 22. Paramount could add the movie to its streaming service, and make it available for digital purchases or rentals, 45 days after its theatrical debut.

Top Gun: Maverick is currently available to pre-order on iTunes (where it’ll cost £13.99 in the UK) however there’s no release date attached. We’ll update this article when we know more.
