It has been nearly four years since Top Gun: Maverick swooped in and supercharged the box office with the biggest movie since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The movie, which saw the return of Tom Cruise’s Pete “Maverick” Mitchell while also introducing instantly iconic characters played by Miles Teller and Glen Powell, was a crowd-pleaser in every sense of the word with its drama, intensity, and those amazing flying sequences.
Well, I recently learned about what the Top Gun: Maverick cast had to go through whenever they filmed those visually stunning and heartpounding midair scenes, and it was honestly much more intensive (and procedural) than I was expecting. I mean, I had a feeling they went through a lot to capture those dogfights and exhilarating moments, but I didn’t expect all that paperwork.
