'Top Gun: Maverick' has grossed $1.4 billion at the worldwide box office and is only second to 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' in the list of highest-grossing movies since the Covid-19 pandemic hit.

Wion's Shomini Sen wrote in her review of the film, "While 'Top Gun: Maverick' tries to tell a different story from the original and has an impressive new cast on board, it ultimately showcases Cruise in all his glory. At 60 he is fitter than some of his peers and doesn't shy away from going shirtless on screen. He does shy away from filming a full-fledged love scene with his on-screen romantic interest Penny (Jennifer Connelly). Instead, they are shown to romance the old fashioned way, with more exchange of words and suggestive moves."

Apart from 'The Gorge', Teller will also lend his voice to the English-language Swiss animated film 'The Ark and the Aardvark'. He will play the lead role of Gilbert.
