Top Gun: Maverick is finally in cinemas around Japan today, 36 years after the original Top Gun left audiences swooning for Maverick, the naval pilot played by Tom Cruise in the movie.
Cruise’s passion for filmmaking and his constant consideration for the audience during production of Top Gun: Maverick was clear throughout the press conference.
It was a memorable evening and a fitting way to celebrate the arrival of Top Gun: Maverick in Japan.
Our Japanese-language reporter Tasuku Egawa never fell head-over heels for Tom Cruise as an actor, but he’s been a fan of Top Gun ever since he was in elementary school.
