A spokesperson for Paramount told multiple news outlets Monday that the claims were 'without merit.''We will defend ourselves vigorously.''Top Gun: Maverick' picks up the story of the now-graying US Navy pilot Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell, played by Tom Cruise, as he trains young aviators for a mission to attack a nuclear facility in a rogue state.
