Why Top Gun: Maverick Doesn't Bring Back Two Original Stars
Director Joseph Kosinski explains why Top Gun: Maverick doesn't bring back stars Kelly McGillis and Meg Ryan from the original Top Gun film. Tony Scott's 1986 action drama saw Tom Cruise star as ace fighter pilot, Lt. Pete «Maverick» Mitchell. Despite initially receiving mixed reviews upon release, Scott's film has since become a huge cultural and commercial success. The film is so beloved that is was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry in 2015. Now, 36 years later, after suffering delays from the COVID-19 pandemic, a sequel is on the horizon.
