The recent lawsuit follows multiple release delays for Top Gun: Maverick prior to its May premiere. Principal photography began in May 2018, with the film originally being scheduled for a theatrical release on July 12th, 2019, but had been delayed by almost a year to June 26th, 2020, as multiple complex additional sequences were shot for the film. A further delay to December 23rd, 2020, was made when theatres were closed in an attempt to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. It would be further delayed from its December release to July 2nd, 2021 due to further concerns surrounding the pandemic, before moving to November 19th, before ultimately releasing in theatres in May 2022, after screenings at numerous events.
Paramount’s Top Gun lawsuit follows similar copyright cases surrounding Marvel’s characters, where the heirs of numerous creators such as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko have the option to file for a notice of termination that would either see them reclaim the rights and force Marvel Comics to renegotiate the agreement for future usage of the characters once the companies’ ownership of the rights expires. While Marvel is preemptively entering court cases prior to the character’s rights expiration dates, Paramount may find themselves in a difficult position, as the date had already passed in 2020 prior to Top Gun: Maverick‘s final release, with the Yonay heirs alleging that the studio had ignored their agreement. While it is still early days for the case, it could call into question the possible future of the franchise, as well as complicate Top Gun: Maverick‘s future home releases.
