Actor Miles Teller shared the shots in the movie Top Gun: Maverick. He said that the film did not use the green screen.

Top Gun: Maverick is an upcoming action drama movie directed by Joseph Kosinski. Eric Warren Singer, Ehren Kruger, and Christopher McQuarrie wrote the screenplay of the film. Peter Craig and Justin Marks developed the story while characters were based on Jim Cash and Jack Epps Jr.’s characters. It stars Miles Teller, Tom Cruise, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Connelly, Lewis Pullman, Val Kilmer, and Ed Harris.

The movie is scheduled to be released theatrically on 2 July 2021 in the United States. It was initially planned to be released on 12 July 2019, but due to some complexities, the release date got postponed and delayed further for the coronavirus pandemic. Top Gun: Maverick is a long-awaited Cruise movie. The film’s plot follows Pete “Maverick” Mitchell keeps pushing the envelope as one of the top aviators of the Navy. He soon confronts the past when training a new squad for an ultimate mission. The character Maverick is played by Cruise, Miles Teller is featured as Lieutenant Bradley Rooster, and Jennifer Connelly played the character of Penny Benjamin, Maverick’s love interest.

In a recent interview with Men’s Journal, Teller shared that the team did not use any green screen to shoot the Top Gun movie. He added that every stunt and every shot result from the real sweat and real work that the whole team has put into. Miles’ character is the son of the former wingman Nick “Goose” Bradshaw, who died in the previous film. Rooster is following the footsteps of his late father and is also newly hired in the Topgun program.

The actor further said that the film took a year to complete the shooting, and it was the longest film scheduled that Teller has ever been a part of.

Miles Alexander Teller is an American actor known for his film, Whiplash, Thank You for Your Service, The Spectacular Now, Bleed for This, and The Divergent Series. He appeared in many short films after completing his graduation from Tisch School of the Arts and his debut with the film Rabbit Hole. The actor received many nominations for the BAFTA Rising Star Award, the Satellite Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture, and the Gotham Independent Film Award for Best Actor. Teller won the Special Jury Prize for Dramatic Acting at the Sundance Film Festival for The Spectacular Now and Ensemble Award at the CinemaCon Award for Fantastic Four.

In today’s cinema, the green screen and blue screen technology are widely used to create amazing special effects. The technology is commonly used in science fiction or fantasy films/ TV shows. It is very cost and time friendly to create a fantastical world. However, actor Tom Cruise is known for his stunts and daring performance. He believes in keeping things real and surprises his fans and the film industry with his wild stunts in films like Mission: Impossible. The actor insanely hanged on the side of the plane during take-off in one of his action sequences. He also strictly against using stunt artists for his part.

Cruise knew that the aerial sequence in the film is very demanding, and hence he made arrangements for his co-stars to undergo the flight training. During a conversation with Empire Magazine, Teller shared that it compresses the spine and skull when pulling the massive G’s. It makes some even insane. And some cannot even handle it. He could not have the people sick the whole time.

The award-winning actor shared three months of training before starting shooting for the movie Top Gun: Maverick. He started his practice in Cessna and then moved on to the L-39 Albatros, a jet trainer aircraft. After that, he got the chance to fly F-18 to build tolerance for extreme G-force. Later he took some breathing practice techniques.

The actor’s shot inside the aircraft F-14s in the Top Gun has been taken on a gimbal. Cruise has flown a helicopter and a P-51 for real in a movie sequence. With the latest details of not using any kind of green screen for the shoot in Top Gun: Maverick, fans are even more excited for the film to release. Hopefully, soon the team will share some more details and posters of the project.
