TopGunMaverick director Joseph Kosinski shares a behind-the-scenes story of Tom Cruise basically being Maverick: 'Tom came in and he collapsed in a chair, and he had his black Ray-Bans on. I said, 'Tom, how’d you do?' And he said, 'We crushed it.'
Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski shares a flying story from the set that proves just how much like Maverick Tom Cruise really is. Released more than 35 years after Tony Scott's original film, Top Gun: Maverick sees Cruise's hotshot pilot, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, training a new batch of fighter pilots for a dangerous mission over enemy territory.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In a recent piece for Deadline, Kosinski shares behind-the-scenes stories from the Top Gun: Maverick set, including one that shows just how dedicated Cruise was to making the sequel as good as it could possibly be.
“You’re pulling 6, 7, 7.5 Gs in the jet, and that’s incredibly draining. The actors were wiped out. Some days, we would have the actors fly in the morning and the afternoon and that’s when people would get sick. People would be just exhausted. It was really, really difficult. Even for the real pilots themselves, that’s a lot of work. One day the weather was so beautiful, Tom came up to me and said, ‘I think I should go three times today.
Before filming even began, Cruise ensured that the new cast members, including Miles Teller, Glen Powell, Monica Barbaro, Lewis Pullman, Jay Ellis, and Danny Ramirez, were ready to fly , putting them through what was later dubbed "Tom Cruise Boot Camp". This dedication to filming action as practically as possible is now a hallmark of all of Cruise's movies, including his successful Mission: Impossible films.
Will Tom Cruise Return In Top Gun 3? With Top Gun: Maverick becoming such a massive success, one would think that a sequel is all but guaranteed, but, so far at least, that's not been the case. Various cast members, including most recently Powell, have provided optimistic updates on the status of a prospective Top Gun 3, but it seems like the ball is truly in Cruise's court in terms of whether the film happens or not.
