'Top Gun' Actor Sues Paramount Over Unauthorized Image Use in Sequel

Barry Tubb seeks damages, claiming his original contract did not cover sequel appearances.

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.
