What if pilot Pete Mitchell, played on screen by Tom Cruise, died at the start of Top Gun: Maverick? A crazy theory that was recently commented on by the film’s director, Joseph Kosinski.
Top Gun: Maverick, a huge public success in France with more than 6.2 million viewers, continues to monopolize discussions. Thus, an amazing theory has recently emerged among fans: What if Maverick, played by Tom Cruise, died in the opening scene after reaching Mach 10 aboard the Darkstar? What if the rest of the movie was just a dream, a vision of what the pilot’s existence could have been without that drama?
he asked The Hollywood Reporter Director Joseph Kosinski leaves the door open on this crazy theory. “Films are made to be interpreted in so many different ways, and I love it when people find different meanings in them.”– says the American.
“I love that theory. There’s clearly a mythic side to the story that lends itself to that kind of interpretation.”continues the filmmaker. “Maverick’s personality is based on something that he represents and the fact that he goes through a kind of ritual at a different stage in his life.
And Joseph Kosinski concludes: “So I really like that theory. Films are designed to be interpreted in one’s own way, according to one’s own world view and one’s own experience. Therefore, I will not emphasize this theory. It’s a really cool take on the story.”
