3 Rounds with the Cast of 'Top Gun: Maverick' | Entertainment Weekly

[@ethan_benfield]

I love the whole cast and all there characters, but pheonix/Monica Barbaro really stood out to me. A strong and beautiful woman that was treated equally. She wasnt just there to be eye candy or a love interest, nor was she a damsel in distress or a contrived girl power feminist, she was one of the pilots like everyone else and was an absolute badass. Charismatic, charming, gorgeous, I obviously have a new celebrity crush.

[@bananaboy1026]

It’s a rare occurrence where I absolutely love the entirety of the main cast, what they’ve accomplished in this movie is nothing short of amazing 🤩

[@carl_anderson9315]

I love that her character is strong, smart and skilled without being preachy. Not a single male character in this movie is sexist or chauvinist. She's part of the family. That is the best way to deal with sexism in movies: removing it entirely from the script, instead of trying to lecture the audience.

This is how you direct and write younger characters. So many Hollywood movies make the young people so unlikable and hateful towards the older characters. Thankfully not the case in this movie

[@emirachelnatalie3397]

YES. I think that's why I loved the film so much...cause it wasn't famous celebrities in lots of different films. It was new, fresh, talented, underrated actors which was SO COOL to see on the big screen...add that to the great writing/storyline, the rest of the actors, the soundtrack (!!) and every thing else...it was sooooo amazing!! lol

[@Synoopy2]

It is hard sometimes being older and working so close with people who are a lot younger, just because they are at a different time in life in their socialization and energy level- kudo's to Tom for being able to do this very well.

[@d26075foxy]

Not going to lie...the minute the first note of the Top Gun Anthem played I was already crying...Top Gun changed my life & was my favorite movie from the age of 10 until May 27, 2022. Top Gun Maverick surpassed every expectation I had for it & quickly became my new favorite movie. Mad respect for the cast for putting themselves through that training & creating a movie that means a lot to more people then they'll ever know.

[@rrsanta1394]

I must admit, I dropped some tears too... It was a strange feeling maybe because I was a teenager when I first saw Top Gun and after 36 years I was there seeing the new Top Gun, fortunatelly.

[@paolylo]

Hard to imagine what it must have been like for them having to wait almost 3 years for Top Gun: Maverick to come out when during the whole time, they probably had non-disclosure agreements while doing other projects in between knowing that this movie will give their careers a massive push.

[@Aliana9109]

Not even lying, I had no interest in the top gun movies but I saw this video from tik tok and watched it here. This casts chemistry is what convinced me to watch the movie and now I’m obsessed with it.

[@glostergloster6945]

I love the fact they get on so well. They are all legends for pulling a sequel off of one of the most iconic movies of all time and making it better than the original. Cast chemistry is a big part of that

[@BDog54]

Even the fact that they had Bill Pullman's son star in the movie, gave the movie an extra layer of nostalgia and beauty. Top Gun Maverick brings back the 80s/ 90s era of big budget thrilling action blockbusters, so to have the son of Bill Pullman, who himself starred in one of the biggest 'save the day' action blockbusters in the form of Independence Day, was somehow quite moving to witness. Top Gun Maverick is about the elder statesmen of flying passing the torch to a new generation of pilots, so it's like life imitating art with Bill passing on the acting torch to his son.

[@ChrisBrengel]

27:51 "I'm getting drunk." LOL!

[@christopherhodges7607]

Monica is right about the fact that this film was meant to be viewed in a packed theater with a community of people.

My dad first showed me Top Gun when I was about 12 or 13. It's one of his few crying movies, he's told me before that he'll sit downstairs and sob over Goose's death as a grown man without any shame.
