"Top Gun: Maverick," although extremely successful, grossing around $295 million at the domestic box office, now has a legal battle on their hands.

A spokesperson from Paramount Pictures told FOX News Digital, "these claims are without merit, and we will defend ourselves vigorously." The lawsuit was filed by Shosh and Yuval Yonay on Monday in California.The Yonays are the heirs of Ehud Yonay, the author of the 1983 article "Top Guns." The storyline for the original "Top Gun" film was based off the article. Tom Cruise is pictured here at the UK Premiere "Top Gun: Maverick." Cruise is not being personally sued.

The former Countdown star, 61, shared a host of photos of herself in a flight suit and aviator sunglasses as she prepared for Thursday’s premiere. The maths whizz is also a keen pilot herself, as she told her followers: ‘Trying my flying suit on a few days ago in London….
I need a hair cut!!!‘Strictly speaking it should be a gown on the red carpet tonight but this is my little homage to the original Top Gun and to my passion for aviation. #pilot’She added: ‘Been going through some pics flying my lovely plane Mildred… she’s a twin engine Diamond DA42-VI and a beauty and have flown her all over Europe and up to Iceland in my survival kit… that was interesting and exciting. ‘Some other pics with genius fighter pilots… supersonic in a Typhoon, thrown around in Hawk in the Red Arrows, with Ben Murphy in his Red Bull racer….
. on the ramp of a Chinook over London. What a lucky woman I’ve been in that way.
’Carol added that if she had been able, she would have been a fighter pilot herself just like Tom Cruise’s character of Maverick in the film. She revealed: ‘You know the ONLY thing I ever wanted to be growing up and probably since…. is a fighter pilot.
I was born 20 years too early, they didn’t take women pilots in the military in my day but I got my licences in my 50s which closed a happy circle. ‘So tonight isn’t just a red carpet or a movie for me. It’s much more meaningful I guess.
I feel the need…. the need…. to say thank you.
