Top Gun 2 Maverick: Tom Cruise teases an ‘EMOTIONAL, hard, never-before-seen’ sequel

It’s been 34 years since Tom Cruise first jetted off in Top Gun. And now the long-awaited sequel is set to land in cinemas this summer. Cruise famously does his own stunts in action franchises like Mission Impossible and it’s just the same for Top Gun: Maverick.

Scenes have been shot of Cruise flying real fighter jets.

And now he’s teased just what fans can expect in Top Gun 2.

Speaking with Empire, the 57-year-old said: “I said to the studio, ‘You don’t know how hard this movie’s going to be. No-one’s ever done this before,

“‘There’s never been an aerial sequence shot this way.’”

Maverick’s love interest in Top Gun was Charlie Blackwood, played by Kelly McGillis.

The 62-year-old claims she wasn’t asked to return because she doesn’t look right for Hollywood now.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, she said: “I’m old and I’m fat and I look age appropriate for what my age is and that is not what that whole scene is about.

“To me, I’d much rather feel absolutely secure in my skin and who and what I am at my age as opposed to placing a value on all that other stuff.”
