That is fantastic,'” Kosinski recalled.

And I said, 'No, I haven't. It just hasn't come up for me.' And he said, 'Have you ever done any aerobatic flying at all?' And I said, 'No, why? Is this going somewhere?'» Connelly recalled with a laugh. «He said, 'Well, it's just going to be very gentle, we're gonna do some gentle rolls,' and so that's how he broke it to be that we're going to be flying in that plane.»«But it was really the most extraordinary experience,» she added.

is finally set to soar into theaters, and fans can look forward to some particularly powerful moments packed with both action and heart.ET's Nischelle Turner sat down with star Miles Teller during a press event on Tuesday, on board the famed USS Midway aircraft carrier, and the 35-year-old actor opened up about what fans can look forward to — including a particularly hyped scene between original cast members Val Kilmer and Tom Cruise.«It's a really sensitive scene. Its a sensitive kind of narrative, when you're bringing Val back and having a scene with [his character], Iceman,» said Teller, trying hard not to give too much away about one of the film's key moments. «There’s one particular scene between Val and Tom that just, man, [hits you] right in the feels.»While Kilmer's involvement in the project was obfuscated back when the film was originally supposed to be released in July 2019, it's since been established that Kilmer's Iceman and Cruise's eponymous Maverick would be sharing the screen once again.According to Teller — who stars as Bradley «Rooster» Bradshaw, the son of Maverick's late friend, Nick «Goose» Bradshaw, who died in the first film — Kilmer wasn't just around when it was time to shoot his own scenes.«He would be on set even if he wasn’t in the scene.

is almost here! The long-awaited sequel hits theaters on May 27, and only ET has an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Tom Cruise's return to the skies as Captain Pete «Maverick» Mitchell.«My whole life, I've wanted to make movies or fly airplanes or go to space,» Cruise says in a new featurette for the upcoming film. «I wanted to jump off buildings, go ride fast motorcycles… My life has just been filled with stories — telling stories, creating characters.»For Cruise returns to his beloved character from the 1986 original. Maverick's spent his time in the intervening years as a test pilot, refusing the Navy's attempts to promote him up the chain of command so he can stay in the air as much as possible.

Later this month, audiences will finally get to watch the highly anticipated sequel to Tom Cruise‘s beloved 1980s fighter pilot action pic “Top Gun.” There is already some early buzz on “Top Gun: Maverick” after a screening at CinemaCon 2022 in Las Vegas that seems to indicate that the extended wait, due to multiple release date hiccups, will be worth it. The film is directed by Joseph Kosinski (“Tron Legacy,” “Oblivion“) with longtime Cruise collaborator Christopher McQuarrie (“Jack Reacher,” “Mission: Impossible – Fallout“) joining the project to help both produce and work on the script.
