Glen Powell is enjoying some buzz at the moment thanks to his performance in the surprise Netflix hit original movie Set It Up.
(He also played John Glenn in Hidden Figures.)
Miles Teller last appeared in Only the Brave and he will be seen later this year in Nicolas Winding Refn’s TV series Too Old To Die Young.
These are all talented actors and the role sounds like it could be a meaty one, which bodes well for Top Gun: Maverick to hit that nostalgic sweet spot while still offering up something that drives the story forward.
