A star in the OG “Top Gun” is suing Paramount, claiming the movie company ripped off his image for the hit sequel.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Barry Tubb, who played Wolfman in the 1986 monster hit, says the term “sequel” was never mentioned or contemplated in his original contract. Therefore, they had no right to use his mug in “Top Gun: Maverick.”

The scene in contention — two of the sequel’s main characters Hangman (שוחק על ידי Glen Powell) and Coyote (Greg Tarzan Davis) discover Rooster Bradshaw (Miles Teller) is Goose’s surviving son.

Rooster points at the photograph of the Top Gun Class of ’86 hanging behind him … and when the camera zooms in, you see Wolfman sitting beside Goose, Iceman, and Maverick.

Tubb says they had no right to use that photo, never asked permission and never paid him a cent. He’s asking for unspecified damages, but given that the flick has grossed nearly $1.5 billion, he wants a lot.

“Top Gun: Maverick’s” massive numbers at the box office in ’22 even beat out “Avengers: Infinity War” to become the 6th highest-grossing movie of all time
