How did the director convince Tom Cruise to return to the role in Top Gun: Maverick?
Tom Cruise starred Top Gun – Indomitable Aces (1986) — but after the film was released, the star revealed that he would not play the character again Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. More than three decades later, cruise made the sequel Top Gun: Maverick(2022), but what convinced the artist to return to the franchise?
In an interview with the Polygon, the director Joseph Kosinski revealed how he convinced cruise to return to paper: giving an emotional reason. For this, she involved character and emotion in the plot of the new film.
“Well, I worked with the Tone and I knew it would start with character and emotion… The conflict [é sobre] the difference between being an airman who comes in and risks his own life, and someone who is in a higher position who has to send others to risk their lives. I talked to some admirals who talked about this difference. It’s a different kind of pressure, it’s almost harder to send others than to go yourself. And to me, it felt like it leveraged the emotion of the past movie and the relationships we all love, but took it in a new direction. So that’s where I started,” said the director.
Kosinski He added, “I think that was honestly the element that really caught Tom, because it gave him an emotional reason to return to this character. The second thing was, what Maverick Is doing? You know, where can we find him? And that’s my own passion… So the idea of meeting him as a test pilot at the edge of what’s possible seemed like the perfect way to find him, and Tone loved it.”
