How belated is the release of Top Gun: Maverick? Initial filming on the three-plus-decades-later sequel was completed over three years ago.īut there’s still plenty of mega-films to get excited about, including two Marvel movies ( Thor 4 and Doctor Strange 2), another jaunt into Jurassic World, and the Toy Story-spinoff Lightyear. Hollywood is still digging out of a pandemic, after all, and there’s a clear indication we’re reaching the end of the backlog of high profile releases delayed over the past two years. To be candid, the summer of 2022 will likely not be confused with any of the greatest summer movie seasons ever. Thor: Love and Thunder (Marvel), Jurassic World: Dominion (Universal), Nope (Universal), Top Gun: Maverick (Paramount), Lightyear (Pixar)
