The filmmakers worked with the Navy for the film, which is currently in production.
Top Gun: Maverick is expected to hit theaters next June. Val Kilmer, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell and Miles Teller co-star.
Cruise said Comic-Con was the perfect place to premiere the trailer. He shot the original some 34 years ago in San Diego.
