A source close to “Top Gun: Maverick” deemed the lawsuit to be a family dispute between Singer and Gray, and not a legitimate claim against Paramount. Gray is referred to as Singer’s “Top Gun: Maverick” writing assistant by the source.

Maverick' screenwriter Eric Singer has filed a lawsuit claiming he wrote 'key scenes' for the film without credit or pay.

Maverick enters another lawsuit as a cousin of one of its screenwriters is suing Paramount for credit and a share of the profits.
