Original Top Gun Actor Sues Paramount Over Image Use in Sequel

Barry Tubb files lawsuit for unauthorized use of his likeness in Top Gun: Maverick, seeking damages.

Barry Tubb, who played "Wolfman" in the original Top Gun movie, is suing Paramount Pictures for using his image without permission in the sequel, Top Gun: Maverick.
The lawsuit claims that the use of Tubb's image was unauthorized and he was not compensated, seeking unspecified compensation and damages.
Tubb's image appears in a scene showing a photograph of the original cast, which he claims was a behind-the-scenes shot not intended for narrative use.
Paramount has not yet responded to the lawsuit, which demands a trial by jury and alleges misleading and deceptive conduct by the studio.
The sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, was a major success, becoming one of the highest-grossing movies of all time.
