Tom Cruise is a walking film school, which is something his young Top Gun: Maverick co-stars learned quickly on-set as they were able to ask him all kinds of questions about how to become a movie star.
With Top Gun: Maverick due out this weekend, we recently caught up with stars Glen Powell and Danny Ramirez to talk about having to wait three years for the film to finally make its theatrical debut.
While chatting with us at the press junket, Top Gun: Maverick director Joe Kosinski revealed what he said in their initial pitch meeting that finally convinced Tom Cruise to say yes to a Top Gun sequel.
While the Top Gun: Maverick cast didn't actually pilot any F-18s, they still had to make it look as believable as possible, so Tom Cruise designed a rigorous training program to get them into TOPGUN shape.
