Overview

• Barry Tubb, who played Wolfman in the original 'Top Gun,' has filed a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures for using his image in the sequel 'Top Gun: Maverick' without his permission.
• Tubb's lawsuit claims that his original contract did not contemplate sequels, and therefore, Paramount's use of his image in the sequel was unauthorized.
• The actor is seeking unspecified damages, arguing that Paramount used his image for commercial gain without compensation.
• Paramount Pictures has not publicly responded to the lawsuit.
• 'Top Gun: Maverick' was a box office success, grossing $1.495 billion worldwide, making the stakes of the lawsuit potentially high.
