Top Gun: Maverick Director Joseph Kosinski Reveals The Most Emotional Day On Set
The director of Top Gun: Maverick, Joseph Kosinski, has recently revealed which day on the set of the sequel was the most emotionally taxing for him to film. The highly anticipated follow-up to 1986's Top Gun features Tom Cruise reprising his beloved role as Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell.
Top Gun: Maverick sees Maverick himself being tasked with training a brand-new group of young Top Gun pilots as they prepare for a dangerous mission taking place in enemy territory. Top Gun: Maverick witnesses Maverick truly learning what it means to be a fearless leader, as he is now being given strict orders from his new commanding officer.

The latest film reveals just how much the pair’s unlikely friendship helped heal Maverick's more defiant behavior toward the strict rules and regulations that make up the Navy.
