After several delays, the long-awaited sequel to Top Gun, Top Gun: Maverick, is finally hitting theaters this year. In anticipation of the sequel’s debut, fans have been wanting to revisit the 1986 classic. There’s just one major issue with that: Top Gun hasn’t been available on any major streaming services. Despite its popularity, Top Gun hasn’t been readily accessible without paying a rental or purchase fee. That’s changing this week, as the iconic Tom Cruise movie is getting added to the most popular streaming service around.
Last week, Netflix revealed the full list of movies and TV shows making their way to its roster in the month of March. Movie fans were ecstatic to see that Top Gun was one the list. Cruise and Val Kimler’s beloved fighter pilots are being added to Netflix first thing Tuesday, March 1st. This will give fans plenty of time to rewatch the original film before Top Gun: Maverick arrives in theaters on May 27th.
