This was the dangerous training that Tom Cruise designed for Miles Teller in 'Top Gun: Maverick'
It is no secret to anyone that Tom Cruise is a man who likes to take his stunts to the limit, the Mission Impossible saga has been proof of this by filming with an avioAccording to the synopsis and the images shown by the trailer for the sequel to Top Gun, we know that Cruise will not return to his old role to now be the teacher of the new aviators in the academy to which he once belonged. Well, the actor did not take it lightly and literally taught his pupils to resist on a jet, because the stunts in them were going to be real.
The also actor of The Mummy is not at all a fan of visual effects, so green screens and solving things in post-production do not go with him, so, as the producer of this sequel, he made sure that each scene was filmed to the best of his ability. possible, in a real way and put the actors not only through training designed by the navy and the real Top Gun, but he designed a series of exercises, breaths and underwater drills to generate resistance to pressure, because just as he he says in the video, if this tape was going to be made it was to fly the real F-18s on the move and climb skyscrapers, so with Top Gun: Maverick it couldn't be any different and he designed a special training for the new leading aviators by Miles Teller.
There were at least 3 months of intense training for Teller, Greg Tarzan Davis, Monica Barbaro and Glen Powell, who, in addition to the above, began to take aviation classes with Tom Cruise himself, who led them by the hand in each process, leaving them drive small planes until they managed to graduate with the jets seen in the movie.
And as if all of the above were not enough, they also had to learn to film themselves, as we can see in the previews, there are many close-up shots of the pilots, this is because they inserted cameras inside the jets that the actors themselves had to handle. : they learned not only to use them, but also to direct themselves, to find the best angle, lighting, framing... EVERYTHING!
It can be said that they entered the set of Top Gun 2 as actors and left as pilots, stuntmen and even directors.
