Director Joe Kosinski of Top Gun: Maverick has disclosed that the next film's practical flying stunt scenes were shot with the cooperation of real US Navy aviators. The highly anticipated sequel to the legendary 1986 film Top Gun, which has been 36 years in the making, is set to hit theatres this weekend. The much-anticipated arrival follows several release delays, the majority of which were caused by the pandemic; Top Gun: Maverick was originally set to arrive in the summer of 2019.
Top Gun: Maverick will begin up more than thirty years after the original film, with Pete "Maverick" Mitchell (Tom Cruise) still refusing to accept any advancement in rank as a test pilot and teacher at Top Gun. When Maverick's late best friend Nick "Goose" Bradshaw's kid, Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw (Miles Teller), enrols in the programme, Maverick is forced to confront his innermost fears. As a result, individuals chosen to fly the mission will be required to make the ultimate sacrifice. Val Kilmer, Jon Hamm, and Jennifer Connelly also star in Top Gun: Maverick.
In an interview with IGN, Kosinski discusses how the airborne stunt scenes in Top Gun: Maverick were shot practically. He tells how the navy aviators worked as cameramen and women, learning a little about filmmaking along the way. The director then expresses his admiration for the soldiers' professionalism and expertise.
