The film comes nearly four decades after the original premiered and quickly soared to the top of the box office with over $600 million in ticket sales so far.
If you haven't seen Top Gun 2 yet or already have plans to see it a second (or even a third) time, here's a guide to where you may have seen the cast before. Take a look:
To start, Tom Cruise starred in the original Top Gun as Lieutenant Pete "Maverick" Mitchell.
Now he's reprising his role, but this time around he's a captain.
Jennifer Connelly played Sarah in the 1986 cult classic Labyrinth.
Now she plays Penny Benjamin.
When Val Kilmer appeared as Iceman in the 1986 Top Gun, it was only his fourth onscreen role.
Now he's returning to play Iceman again almost 40 years later.
