Top Gun: Maverick is a 2022 American action drama film 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 sequel to the 1986 film Top Gun, 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 after its predecessor, the film follows Maverick's return to the United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program (also known as "Top Gun"), where he must confront his past as he trains a group of younger fighter pilots, among them the son of Maverick's deceased best friend Goose.

Development for a Top Gun sequel was announced in 2010 by Paramount Pictures. Cruise and Kilmer were approached to return in their roles from the original, as were producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Tony Scott. In mid-2012, Craig and Marks finished a draft of the screenplay, Scott died by suicide, and the film's pre-production was put on hold.[4][5] In June 2017, Kosinski was hired and wrote a new draft of the script. Principal photography took place from May 2018 to April 2019 in California, Washington, D.C., and Maryland. The film was shot using IMAX-certified 6K-screen cameras. Its release, initially scheduled for July 12, 2019, was delayed by efforts to shoot several complex action sequences, then by the COVID-19 pandemic and scheduling conflicts.[6]

Top Gun: Maverick premiered at CinemaCon on April 28, 2022, and was theatrically released in the United States on May 27, 2022, by Paramount Pictures in IMAX, 4DX,[7] ScreenX[8] and Dolby Cinema.[9] The film received widespread praise from critics, who commended the action sequences, emotional weight, and performances; many deemed it superior to the first film.[10]

Plot

Three decades after the events of the first film, Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is serving as a U.S. Navy test pilot and has dodged promotion to continue flying. Rear Admiral Chester "Hammer" Cain plans to shut down the hypersonic "Darkstar" scramjet program and redirect the funds to other drone programs, Maverick decides to take the prototype to its Mach 10 speed objective before Cain can arrive. Maverick reaches Mach 10 but decides to push even further into high-hypersonic speed, resulting in the prototype's destruction. Cain insists on grounding Maverick but, the pilot has been ordered to NAS North Island by his friend and former rival, Admiral Tom "Iceman" Kazansky, the commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

Maverick is ordered to train an elite group of F/A-18E/F Super Hornet pilots assembled by Vice Admiral Beau "Cyclone" Simpson and Rear Admiral Solomon "Warlock" Bates for an urgent mission: to bomb a uranium enrichment facility of an unnamed rogue nation. Because the facility sits in a deep depression at the end of a canyon and is defended by surface-to-air missile (SAM) batteries and an airbase with Su-57 fifth-generation fighters, the mission requires a risky high-speed nap-of-earth approach in the canyon beneath hostile radar coverage to reach the facility and pushing the F/A-18E/F beyond its NATOPS limits. With the new F-35C unavailable, Maverick recommends a strike package of four F/A-18E/Fs in two pairs to destroy the facility's entrance and then the facility itself. Maverick is initially rebuffed by the pilots, particularly by the self-confident Lieutenant Jake "Hangman" Seresin and by Lieutenant Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw, the son of Maverick's late best friend and RIO Nick "Goose" Bradshaw.[11] Rooster resents Maverick for blocking his application to the Naval Academy, setting back his career.

The training prepares the pilots in basic fighter maneuvers, precision-guided munitions employment, nap-of-the-earth flying, and the importance of teamwork. The pilots become aware of the relationship between Rooster's father and Maverick, leading to animosity between Hangman and Rooster due to the former's cavalier attitude towards his wingmen and the latter's cautious flying, which Hangman attributes to his father's death. As the pilots observe Maverick's skill, they begin to reassess him and their team coheres.

During the training, Maverick reunites with Penny, a former girlfriend of his who provides him guidance, particularly with his protective attitude towards Rooster. He admits that he blocked Rooster's application without telling him, at the request of Rooster's late mother. Maverick also meets with Iceman, whose throat cancer requires him to converse by typing his words out on a computer, but who manages to verbally underscore the importance of the mission. Iceman dies days later, and Maverick along with the pilots attend his funeral.

Cyclone opposes Maverick's risky methods and tactics, but Maverick demonstrates using his pilot skills. Cyclone then appoints him to lead the strike team. Maverick chooses the mission pilots and is paired with Phoenix and her WSO Bob, while Rooster is paired with Payback and his WSO Fanboy, and the remaining pilots on standby alert. The aircraft are launched from the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt, while the cruiser Leyte Gulf fires a salvo of Tomahawk cruise missiles to destroy the facility's nearby airbase to preempt the scrambling of enemy fighters. The four F/A-18E/Fs reach the facility and destroy it, but are attacked upon climbout by SAMs. Rooster runs out of countermeasures, and Maverick sacrifices his jet to prevent him from being shot down and ejects safely. As the remaining aircraft return to the carrier, Rooster turns back and saves Maverick from an Mi-24 Hind gunship pursuing him, but is shot down and ejects nearby.

The two reunite and come across the destroyed airbase, where they steal a refitted F-14A Tomcat. As they head back to the carrier, a pair of patrolling Su-57s form up alongside and attempt to identify them. Maverick and Rooster decide to engage, surprising the Su-57s and shooting them down. They attempt to return to the carrier, but a third Su-57 intercepts them. Out of weapons and countermeasures and without functional ejection seats, they are saved by Hangman, who launched from the carrier after Maverick and Rooster did not return with the strike group. They return to a celebration on the carrier. Later, Maverick and Rooster reconcile and work together on his F-6K[12], a variant of the P-51 Mustang, at Maverick's hangar. Maverick and Penny then fly off in his F-6k, and Rooster smiles at a photo of himself and Maverick, placed beside a photo of his late father and a young Maverick.

Cast

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."[15] The film will reportedly focus on the end of the dogfighting era[16] and the role of drones in modern aerial warfare[17] and that Cruise's character, Maverick, will fly an F/A-18 Super Hornet.[18] 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.[19][20]

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".[21] 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".[22][23] By July 2017, Joseph Kosinski was announced as the director, after previously collaborating with Cruise on Oblivion (2013).[24][25] 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.[26]

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.[27] The following months, Peter Craig and Justin Marks, were reported to write a new script for the film,[17][16] while Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz being credited as screenwriters on the project.[28] 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.[29] 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".[29]

"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.[30]

Prior to his death, Scott 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.[31] The Hollywood Reporter stated the Top Gun sequel was one of three directing projects in "advanced development".[32]

During scripting discussions in Paris, where Cruise was shooting for Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Kosinski narrated two ideas to Cruise.[33] 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.[33] 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.[34][35] In October 2018, McQuarrie was brought in to write the additional script and screenplay for the film.[36]

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.[37] Val Kilmer had campaigned on his Facebook page to reprise his role in the film,[38] and by June 2018, The Wrap reported that he would appear in the film.[39] While Bruckheimer and the filmmakers wanted to bring Kilmer back, Cruise was the one who insisted in allowing Kilmer to reprise his role.[40] 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.[41] Later that month, Jennifer Connelly joined the film's cast to play a single mother running a bar near the naval base.[42][43]

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.[44] 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.[45][46][47] In September 2018, Manny Jacinto joined the cast.[48] In October 2018, Kara Wang, Jack Schumacher, Greg Tarzan Davis, Jake Picking, Raymond Lee, Jean Louisa Kelly and Lyliana Wray joined the cast, with Wray replacing McKenzie.[49] Additionally, McKenzie was forced to drop out of the film after signing onto Lost Girls.[50] In November 2018, Chelsea Harris joined the cast in an undisclosed role.[51] According to Kelly McGillis and Meg Ryan, who both appeared in the original film together, they were not asked to appear in the sequel.[52][53]

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.[54] 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."[55]

Preliminary production on the film officially started on May 30, 2018, in San Diego, California.[56][57] 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.[58][59] In mid-February 2019, Cruise and the production crew were sighted on board USS Theodore Roosevelt at NAS North Island.[60] In March, filming was completed at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in Oak Harbor, Washington.[61] On June 19, 2019, Miles Teller revealed in an interview that he had finished filming two days earlier.[62] Principal photography was scheduled until April 15, 2019, in San Diego, Lemoore, China Lake,[63] Lake Tahoe in California;[64] Seattle, Washington;[65] and Pax River, Maryland.[66] The post-production and editing works were supervised by Kosinski, at his home during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.[67]

The film was shot in IMAX format using IMAX-Certified Sony Venice 6K Full Screen cameras.[68] 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."[30] 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.[69]

Music

The film's score was composed by Lorne Balfe, Harold Faltermeyer, Lady Gaga, and Hans Zimmer. The soundtrack was released on May 27, 2022 through Interscope Records. It was promoted by two singles, "Hold My Hand" by Lady Gaga and "I Ain't Worried" by OneRepublic.

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.[70][71] 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.[72] 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 flight jacket of Cruise's character and accused Paramount of removing it to appease China-based co-financier Tencent Pictures.[73] However, the Taiwanese and Japanese flags were later restored. [74] The second trailer was released in December 2019,[75] and a new Snapchat filter for the film was introduced by Paramount, to engage "young-generation audiences".[76]

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.[77] 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.[78] In July 2020, Hasbro announced a Top Gun themed Transformers toy, "Maverick", which released later in the year.[79]

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.[80] 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.[81] In February 2022, the final trailer of the film tied to Porsche was aired before Super Bowl LVI.[82] 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, released on May 26, before the film's release.[83][84] An interactive website was also launched on the same month.[85] On May 23, Cruise collaborated with The Late Late Show fame James Corden for recreating a fighter sequence as a part of promotions.[86][87]

A three-week promotional tour was conducted Mexico City, Tokyo, Cannes, London, San Diego and Los Angeles.[88] Event Cinemas announced Top Gun: Maverick Collector Combo, featuring a medium large salt-popcorn with refreshments in a collector cup, being marketed with stills featuring Cruise.[89] Applebee's restaurant chains had also offered customers who purchase meals for $25 and above, can book tickets for free through Fandango Media.[90] Vudu also announced that subscribers who purchase any of the selected titles from May 10 to May 30, through the online mobile application will get exclusive tickets with $5.00, and purchase can be made through the Fandango mobile application.[91]

Theatrical

Top Gun: Maverick was released in New Zealand and Canada on May 24, 2022,[92] Australia on May 26,[93][92] and in United Kingdom and United States on May 27, with advance screenings starting the day before.[94] 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.[6] By March 2020, Paramount moved the film up two days early on June 24, 2020,[95] and was then moved to December 23 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic declared by the World Health Organization.[96][97] 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,[98] and was further delayed to November 19, 2021,[99] before finalizing the May 2022 release date.[94]

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.[100][101] 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.[102][103] The following day it had a royal premiere in London’s Leicester Square with the cast meeting Prince William and Duchess of Cambridge.[104] ScreenX theaters[105] and AMC Theaters[106][107] held Early Access Event screenings at limited locations across the United States on March 24, 2022.

Home media

Both Netflix, Apple TV+ and HBO Max 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. At the film’s premiere at Cannes, Cruise also denied that the film was going to streaming.[108][109][110][111] The film will be available on Paramount+, 45 days after the theatrical release.[112]

Reception

Box office

In the United States and Canada, Top Gun: Maverick was released alongside The Bob's Burgers Movie, and is projected to gross $85–100 million in its opening weekend, with some estimates going as high as $130 million. It played in 4,732 theaters, the widest release of all-time.[2] The film made $19.3 million from previews on Tuesday and Thursday night, the best-ever for Cruise, Paramount, and Memorial Day weekend.[113]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 97% of 304 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.2/10. 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."[114] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 78 out of 100, based on 60 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[115] Audiences polled by PostTrak gave the film a 96% positive score, with 84% saying they would definitely recommend it.[113]

Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood praised the film, saying that it "tops the original in every way imaginable".[116] Calling it as a "thin, over-strenuous and sometimes very enjoyable movie", The New York Times-based critic A. O. Scott praised it as "an earnest statement of the thesis that movies can and should be great".[117] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian reviewed: "Cruise presides over some surprising differences from his first outing as the navy pilot hotshot in a film that’s missing the homoerotic tensions of the 80s original".[118] Alonso Duarade of TheWrap called Top Gun: Maverick "counts as a worthy sequel in that it succeeds and fails in many of the same ways as the original. It’s another cornball male weepie and military recruitment ad that feels like every WWII movie got fed into an algorithm, and the flying sequences are breathtaking enough to make you forget that these guys and gals are engaging in the kind of combat scenarios that start wars. This isn’t important moviemaking, but for a film industry that’s desperate to get butts back in seats for big-screen, booming-sound spectacle, it ultimately fits the bill."[119]

Entertainment.ie's Brian Lloyd's 4-star review stated Top Gun: Maverick "exceeds with flying colours" and "exists in a world that is all of its own making. There are golden sunsets, perfectly crisp white t-shirts, exquisitely coiffed hair, and long-held flames of romance that make it all impossible to resist."[120] Clarrise Lougherty, cheif editor of The Independent stated that the film is "as thrilling as blockbusters get. It’s the kind of edge-of-your-seat, fist-pumping spectacular that can unite an entire room full of strangers sitting in the dark and leave them with a wistful tear in their eye."[121] Richard Brody of The New Yorker stated "The new film, less of a sequel than a renovation, infuses the 1986 drama of airborne combat with today’s politics."[122] Tomris Larfy of RogerEbert.com stated "Equally worthy of that big screen is the emotional strokes of “Maverick” that pack an unexpected punch."[123]

Tatsam Mukherjee of Firstpost stated Top Gun: Maverick reminded of James Mangold's Ford v Ferrari (2019), in which "the films ruminate on this classic predicament between man and machine". He added "At the forefront of this clash is a man named Tom Cruise, who wants nothing less than our jaws on the floor. Proving that no amount of multiverse films or superstar cameos will replace the blood, sweat and adrenaline of an actor legitimately trying to push the boundaries of filmmaking. We can be rest assured that if it’s a Tom Cruise film, he will not let us down."[124] Chris Bumbray of JoBlo.com called the film as "a thrill ride of the highest order" and further wrote "If you’re a fan of the original, this will blow you away – but even if you don’t love the 1986 classic (blasphemy), this has a lot to offer."[125]
