Top Gun: Maverick is a 2022 American action drama film. The sequel to the 1986 film Top Gun, it was directed by Joseph Kosinski and written by Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer, and Christopher McQuarrie, from a story by Peter Craig and Justin Marks. The film stars Tom Cruise as Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, a test pilot, alongside Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Ed Harris, Monica Barbaro, and Val Kilmer. Set 36 years since the events of its predecessor, the film follows Maverick, who actively attempted to dodge the advancement in rank that would ground him. However, his career ends up taking him back to the United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program (also known as "Top Gun"), where he has to confront his past as he is charged with training a new squadron of fighter pilots.

Development for a Top Gun sequel was announced in 2010, when Paramount Pictures offered the original film's director Tony Scott and its producer Jerry Bruckheimer, for the same, with Cruise and Kilmer being planned to return. With the first draft, being completed by mid-2012, Scott died by suicide, leading to the film's pre-production being put on hold.[3][4] In June 2017, Kosinski was hired and wrote a new draft from Craig and Marks' script. With Cruise and other cast members being involved by early-2018, principal photography began from May 2018 to April 2019 in California, Washington, D.C. and Maryland. The film was shot using IMAX-certified 6K-screen cameras.

Top Gun: Maverick premiered at CinemaCon on April 28, 2022, and is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on May 27, 2022, by Paramount Pictures in IMAX, 4DX,[5] ScreenX[6] and Dolby Cinema.[7] It was delayed from the initial July 12, 2019 release date, to accommodate production team to shoot several complex action sequences, followed by the COVID-19 pandemic and scheduling conflicts.[8] The film received widespread praise from critics, with many deeming it superior to the original film.[9]

Plot

Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is currently serving as a naval test pilot and purposely dodged advancement in rank to continue flying 36 years of service. After Rear Admiral Chester Cain plans to shut down the hypersonic "Darkstar" scramjet project and redirect funds to drone programs, Maverick decided to take the prototype to its Mach 10 speed objective before Cain can arrive. Maverick reached Mach 10 but decided to push further, resulting in the aircraft's destruction. Before Cain can ground him, Maverick ordered to North Island, where he is placed in charge of training an elite group of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission under the orders of his friend and former rival, Admiral Tom "Iceman" Kazansky, the commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Among them is Lieutenant Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw, the son of Maverick's late best friend and RIO Nick "Goose" Bradshaw.[10]

The elite group of F/A-18E/F Super Hornet pilots are assembled for a special mission by Vice Admiral Beau "Cyclone" Simpson and Rear Admiral Solomon "Warlock" Bates to destroy a uranium enrichment facility of a rogue nation (unnamed in the film). The facility is located within a steep depression at the end of a mountainous canyon and surrounded by surface-to-air missile batteries and an airbase with Su-57 fifth-generation fighters, which requires a risky high-speed nap-of-earth approach under hostile radar umbrella to reach it and pushing the F/A-18E/F beyond its NATOPS limits. Maverick recommends two pairs of F/A-18E/F, with the first pair blowing open the facility's entrance, while the second pair destroys the facility itself. Maverick is initially rebuffed by the pilots, particularly from Lieutenant Jake "Hangman" Seresin who was supremely confident in his own abilities as well as Rooster who resents Maverick for pulling his papers from the Naval Academy and setting his career back.

The training prepares the pilots in all aspects of the mission, including basic fighter maneuvers, precision-guided munitions employment, nap-of-earth flying, as well as the importance of teamwork. As the training progressed, the pilots also became aware of the history between Rooster's father and Maverick, leading to animosity between Hangman and Rooster due to the former's cavalier attitude towards his wingman and the latter's cautious approach to flying that Hangman attributes to his father's death. As the pilots see Maverick's skill and airmanship talent during the course of the training, the pilots begin to reassess their skepticism about Maverick.

During the course of the training, Maverick reunites with Penny, who provides him guidance and emotional support particularly with his protective attitude towards Rooster. Maverick also meets with Iceman, who has also been plagued by a severe throat illness and has to type his words out on a computer. Despite having immense difficulty speaking, Iceman verbally states of the gravity and importance he associates with the successful completion of the mission. Iceman passes away before the mission is set to launch; Maverick and the pilots attend his funeral, which is honored with a missing man formation.

Cyclone is opposed to Maverick's risky methods, but once Maverick demonstrates that the mission plan can be executed, Cyclone assigns him as the mission leader. Maverick then chooses the mission pilots and is paired with Phoenix/Bob, while Rooster is paired with Payback/Fanboy. The mission is launched from the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, while a salvo of Tomahawks from the USS Leyte Gulf was launched to preemptively destroy a hostile airfield to prevent the scrambling of enemy fighters. The nap-of-earth approach works and the four F/A-18E/Fs were able to reach the uranium enrichment facility and destroy it. However, its destruction as well as the steep climb required to escape out of the depression alerts hostile SAMs as well as a pair of patrolling Su-57s. As more SAMs are launched and the pilots ran out of countermeasures, Maverick sacrifices his own jet to prevent Rooster from being shot down. As the remaining aircraft egress back to the carrier, Rooster turned back and saved Maverick from an Mi-24 Hind gunship that was pursuing him, but Rooster would be shot down himself in the process.

Maverick and Rooster make it to the destroyed airbase, where they steal an F-14A Tomcat that had survived the Tomahawk bombardment. As they try to return to the carrier, the two Su-57s form up with them. As the enemy pilots are determining whether or not F-14A was friendly, Maverick and Rooster decide to engage, surprising the two Su-57s and shooting them down. When Maverick and Goose again tries to return to the carrier, a third Su-57 intercepts them. Out of weapons and countermeasures and with the ejection seats not functional, they are saved just in time by Hangman, who launched from the carrier after seeing that Maverick and Rooster didn't return. They form up in the air and head back to the carrier. Upon arrival, the pilots and crew celebrate their return. Post-mission, Maverick and Rooster reconcile and work together on his P-51 Mustang at Maverick's hangar.

Cast

Notes: Anthony Edwards and Meg Ryan appear in archive footage, from the first film, as Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Nick "Goose" Bradshaw and Carole Bradshaw, respectively.

Production

Development

Development of the film began in 2010 when Paramount Pictures made offers to Jerry Bruckheimer and Tony Scott to make a sequel to Top Gun, with Tom Cruise reprising his role. When asked about his idea for a new Top Gun film, Scott replied, "This world fascinated me, because it's so different from what it was originally. But I don't want to do a remake. I don't want to do a reinvention. I want to do a new movie."[13] The film will reportedly focus on the end of the dogfighting era[14] and the role of drones in modern aerial warfare[15] and that Cruise's character, Maverick, will fly an F/A-18 Super Hornet.[16] After Scott's suicide in 2012, the sequel's future remained in question, but producer Jerry Bruckheimer remained committed to the project, especially given Cruise's and Kilmer's interest.[17][18]

In June 2017, Cruise revealed that the sequel would be titled as Top Gun: Maverick, as he "did not need a number in all sequel titles".[19] He added that the film is "going to be a competition film, similar to the first one", but clarified it as "a progression for Maverick".[20][21] By July 2017, Joseph Kosinski was announced as the director, after previously collaborating with Cruise on Oblivion (2013).[22][23] On June 19, 2019, at CineEurope in Barcelona, attendees were able to watch for the first time some early footage of the film from a special Paramount presentation. During the presentation the President of International Theatrical Distribution Mark Viane and co-president of Worldwide Marketing and Distribution Mary Daily appeared in flight clothes, as a part of promotion.[24]

Scripting and writing

By mid-2010, Christopher McQuarrie received an offer to write the sequel's screenplay, which was rumored to have Cruise's character Maverick in a smaller role.[25] The following months, Peter Craig and Justin Marks, were reported to write a new script for the film,[15][14] while Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz being credited as screenwriters on the project.[26] Marks claimed that the sequel for Top Gun as his "dream project" and claimed that the first part was "an iconic film in his memory" being inspired for his venture in film career.[27] He researched the Joint Strike Fighters, the F-35, for the sequel's script to give an insight of "how Top Gun would be represented in the current period".[27]

"Maverick in that film was in his early twenties and now he’s in his fifties. It had to be a different journey, but it was important it was a journey for a man at a different part of his life. We think of Top Gun as an action film, but I think of it as a drama. It has some incredible action scenes in it, but there is a drama at the center of it."

— Kosinski, on the new script of Top Gun 2.[28]

Prior to his death, Scott he had apparently finalized the script and began scouting locations, where he and Cruise, had toured a naval air station in Fallon, Nevada, a week prior for research purposes.[29] The Hollywood Reporter stated the Top Gun sequel was one of three directing projects in "advanced development".[30]

During scripting discussions in Paris, where Cruise was shooting for Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Kosinski narrated two ideas to Cruise.[31] The first is, about the emotional core of the film – the severed relationship between Maverick and Goose's son, set against a dangerous combat mission. The second idea, he pitched is about, Maverick's introduction and the "Darkstar" sequence, being kept as secrecy.[31] Miller and Stentz were no longer involved in the project after Kosinski's inclusion, and new screenwriters, Ehren Kruger and Eric Warren Singer were brought on board, during that August.[32][33] In October 2018, McQuarrie was brought in to write the additional script and screenplay for the film.[34]

Casting

Tom Cruise stars as Maverick, a character he first played in 1986

Cruise's involvement in Top Gun: Maverick was first announced in January 2016.[35] Val Kilmer had campaigned on his Facebook page to reprise his role in the film,[36] and by June 2018, The Wrap reported that he would appear in the film.[37] While Bruckheimer and the filmmakers wanted to bring Kilmer back, Cruise was the one who insisted in allowing Kilmer to reprise his role.[38] In the new trailer, released in March 2022, there was shown a photograph of Kilmer wearing a uniform of a four-star admiral. In July 2018, Miles Teller was cast in the role of Goose's son, against Nicholas Hoult and Glen Powell. All three were flown to Cruise's home for chemistry tests.[39] Later that month, Jennifer Connelly joined the film's cast to play a single mother running a bar near the naval base.[40][41]

In August 2018, Powell joined the cast of the film in a pilot trainee role that was enlarged for him, having impressed Cruise, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, as well as executives at Paramount Pictures and Skydance Media, with his auditions.[42] That same month, Monica Barbaro, Thomasin McKenzie, Charles Parnell, Jay Ellis, Bashir Salahuddin, Danny Ramirez, Ed Harris, Jon Hamm and Lewis Pullman joined the cast of the film with Barbaro, Ellis, and Ramirez portraying pilot trainees and McKenzie portraying Connelly's daughter.[43][44][45] In September 2018, Manny Jacinto joined the cast.[46] In October 2018, Kara Wang, Jack Schumacher, Greg Tarzan Davis, Jake Picking, Raymond Lee, Jean Louisa Kelly and Lyliana Wray joined the cast.[47] Additionally, McKenzie was forced to drop out of the film after signing onto Lost Girls.[48] In November 2018, Chelsea Harris joined the cast in an undisclosed role.[49] According to Kelly McGillis, who appeared in the original film, she was not asked to appear in the sequel.[50]

Filming

Cruise designed a unique bootcamp for the actors, going through three months of training – underwater evacuation, aerial aviation and the preliminary training to build spatial awareness inside the aircraft, and flights.[51] Bruckheimer said that "The actors also had to learn how to run the cameras because when they're up in the jet they have to direct themselves essentially. They also needed to be taught about the lighting, cinematography and editing, as it is the once-in-a-lifetime experience."[52]

Preliminary production on the film officially started on May 30, 2018, in San Diego, California.[53][54] During late August a 15-person film crew from Paramount and Bruckheimer Films were aboard the Norfolk-based aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to shoot flight deck operations.[55][56] In mid-February 2019, Cruise and the production crew were sighted on board USS Theodore Roosevelt at NAS North Island.[57] In March, filming was completed at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in Oak Harbor, Washington.[58] On June 19, 2019, Miles Teller revealed in an interview that he had finished filming two days earlier.[59] Principal photography was scheduled until April 15, 2019, in San Diego, Lemoore, China Lake,[60] Lake Tahoe in California;[61] Seattle, Washington;[62] and Pax River, Maryland.[63] The post-production and editing works were supervised by Kosinski, at his home during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.[64]

The film was shot in IMAX format using IMAX-Certified Sony Venice 6K Full Screen cameras.[65] Kosinski explained that the team spent more than a year with Navy forces to use the IMAX cameras inside the cockpit, with four cameras facing toward the actors and facing forward, in addition to cameras mounted all over the exteriors of the aircraft. He explained that "the audience should feel the authenticity, strain, speed and gravitational forces, something that cannot be achieved through soundstage or visual effects, which needed a tremendous amount of effort and work."[28] He added that more than 800 hours of footage has been shot for the film, exceeding the combined footage shot for the films in the Lord of The Rings trilogy.[66]

Marketing

The film's first teaser trailer premiered during a surprise appearance by Cruise at the 2019 San Diego Comic Con on July 18, 2019.[73][74] The first trailer received high praise from fans, with many lauding the return of the series and some comparing it to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.[75] The Hollywood Reporter wrote that some fans noticed that the flag of the Republic of China (the flag used by the government of Taiwan) and the Flag of Japan were missing from the bomber jacket of Cruise's character and accused Paramount of removing it to appease China-based co-financier Tencent Pictures.[76] The second trailer was released in December 2019,[77] and a new Snapchat filter for the film was introduced by Paramount, to engage "young-generation audiences".[78]

In February 2020, toy manufacturer Matchbox company (owned by Mattel) announced that they were releasing a series of Top Gun die-cast models and products, including the F-14 Tomcat, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, and the P-51 Mustang, as well as role play items. They were scheduled for public release on June 1, 2020, despite the delayed theatrical release.[79] In June 2020, plastic model manufacturer Revell company released a series of 1/48 scale Top Gun plastic models, including an F-14A Tomcat and an F/A-18E Super Hornet based upon the aircraft in the movie. These are versions of previous Revell offerings with modified decals and markings.[80] In July 2020, Hasbro announced a Top Gun themed Transformers toy, "Maverick", which released later in the year.[81]

On August 26, 2021, the first 13 minutes of the film were previewed at CinemaCon along with a new trailer with Tom Cruise marking his presence virtually at the event.[82] In January 2022, CBS Sports released a new clip from the film, coinciding with the final match of Kansas City Chiefs and the Cincinnati Bengals on AFC Championship.[83] In February 2022, the final trailer of the film tied to Porsche was aired before Super Bowl LVI.[84] In April 2022, Project ACES, the developers of the Ace Combat series, announced the release of an aircraft collaboration DLC for Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown with Top Gun: Maverick, which is set for release on May 26, before the film's release.[85][86] An interactive website was also launched on the same month.[87]

Release

Top Gun: Maverick was released in New Zealand on 24 May 2022.

In the United States, it is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 27, 2022.[88] It was originally scheduled to be released by Paramount Pictures on July 12, 2019, but was delayed to June 26, 2020, in order to shoot several complex action sequences.[8] By March 2020, Paramount moved the film up two days early on June 24, 2020,[89] and was then moved to December 23 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic declared by the World Health Organization.[90][91] On July 23, 2020, the film was delayed again to July 2, 2021, due in part to scheduling conflicts with Cruise, as well as the recent delays of Mulan and Tenet due to the rise of COVID-19 cases,[92] and was further delayed to November 19, 2021,[93] before finalizing the May 2022 release date.[88]

The film had its world premiere at CinemaCon on April 28, 2022, followed by a global premiere hosted at the San Diego Civic Theatre in San Diego, California, on May 4, which was also streamed live through YouTube.[94][95] It also screened at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18 in an Official Selection Screening, where it received a five-minute standing ovation from the audience. The Cannes premiere included a tribute to Cruise and his career.[96][97] Both Netflix and Apple TV+ reportedly attempted to purchase the distribution rights to the film, but Paramount refused to sell them; Bruckheimer, when asked about them and other streaming services attempting to purchase the distribution rights to the film at the film's premiere at CinemaCon, said that there was no other option and that the film had always been a big-screen destination.[98][99]

Reception

Box office projections

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 97% of 202 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.4/10. The website's consensus reads: "Top Gun: Maverick pulls off a feat even trickier than a 4G inverted dive, delivering a long-belated sequel that surpasses its predecessor in wildly entertaining style."[100] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 81 out of 100, based on 51 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[101]

Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood praised the film, saying that it "tops the original in every way imaginable".[102]
