　　Maverick will come to streaming via Paramount+ on December 22. Maverick is already available to watch at home, as it became available to purchase outright and rent earlier this year, but December 22 marks the first time it's coming to a streaming service.

　　Thanks to Maverick's huge success in theaters, star Tom Cruise is said to have made $100 million from the movie. Maverick is a sequel to 1986's Top Gun, which also starred Cruise in the lead role.

　　The new movie was directed by Joseph Kosinski and also stars Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller, Jon Hamm, and Glenn Powell. The original film was directed by the late Tony Scott.
