Tom
Cruise's
awaited
film
Top
Gun:
Maverick
has
finally
hit
the
theatres
on
May
27,
2022,
36
years
after
the
release
of
the
original
film.
The
leading
star
took
to
his
Twitter
account
to
express
the
excitement
for
the
same
and
said
that
he
hopes
fans
will
enjoy
the
film.
It
also
stars
Jon
Hamm,
Jennifer
Connelly,
Miles
Teller,
Glen
Powell,
Monica
Barbaro,
Greg
Tarzan
Davis,
and
Jay
Ellis
in
lead
roles.
Sharing
his
excitement
over
the
release
of
the
sequel,
Cruise
wrote,
"36
years
after
the
first
film,
#TopGun:
Maverick
is
finally
here.
We
made
it
for
the
big
screen.
And
we
made
it
for
you,
the
fans.
I
hope
you
enjoy
the
ride
this
weekend."
The
film
brings
back
Tom
Cruise
together
with
his
passion
for
flying.
According
to
recent
reports,
the
actor
had
insisted
that
all
the
cast
members
portraying
pilots
on
the
film
must
fly
in
one
of
the
fighter
jets
built
by
Boeing
Co.
The
report
also
claimed
that
the
studio
paid
approximately
$11,374
an
hour
to
use
the
advanced
fighter
planes.
Cruise
who
had
also
flown
a
jet
for
the
original
Top
Gun,
said
the
actors
should
understand
what
it
feels
like
to
be
a
pilot
operating
under
the
strain
of
immense
gravitational
forces.
However,
Pentagon
regulation
barred
the
actors,
in
this
case
non-military
personnel,
from
controlling
a
Defense
Department
asset
other
than
small
arms
in
training
scenarios.
Instead,
the
actors
rode
behind
the
F/A-18
pilots
after
completing
required
training
on
how
to
eject
from
the
plane
in
an
emergency
and
how
to
survive
at
sea.
The
movie
has
garnered
a
lot
of
buzz
and
is
also
expected
to
be
a
hit
at
the
box
office
worldwide.
According
to
reports,
the
film
is
expected
to
open
at
$100
million
in
the
US
alone.
Top
Gun:
Maverick
is
directed
by
Joseph
Kosinski.
