Beyond that, CinemaBlend recently sat down with Kosinski for a brief interview, and when Top Gun: Maverick came up he quickly made sure to note that it’s not going to be a film about drone warfare (which was widely rumored online once it was announced).
Despite the logic to Joseph Kosinski’s remarks to Collider about Top Gun: Maverick, it’s clear that there’s going to be quite a bit of shared DNA between the films.
With a practically shot story focusing on the inner lives of naval fighter pilots, it’s pretty clear that this will still definitely feel like a Top Gun movie.
The Tron: Legacy director has maintained that he wants to employ many of the same practical filmmaking techniques that the late Tony Scott used on the original film, and it will thematically take Maverick on a journey of self-discovery.
