Maverick from ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Working with Tom Cruise, according to Miles Teller, was a “incredible honour.”

Miles Teller, an American actor, recently opened up about working with Tom Cruise on the highly anticipated film Top Gun: Maverick.

The actor revealed that he was ‘nervous’ to join the cast of the highly anticipated sequel to the 1986 blockbuster Top Gun, and that he had ‘big shoes’ to fill when Cruise chose him to play the son of a beloved character Goose in the film.

Teller, 35, who has given outstanding performances in films such as The Spectacular Now and Whiplash, said he was ‘apprehensive’ about joining the sequel because he has always focused on doing’smaller scale things’ in his career.

‘I was nervous about lending myself to that world, but it was also something I was incredibly proud and honoured to be a part of,’ he said.

‘I mean, when Tom Cruise handpicks you to be his co-star in a movie and to play Goose’s son, those are big shoes to fill,’ the actor continued. So I just felt like if Tom thinks I’m the right guy, I’m the right guy as well.’

Top Gun: Maverick is directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Cruise, Christopher McQuarrie, and David Ellison.

Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Charles Parnell, Bashir Salahuddin, Monica Barbaro, Jay Ellis, Danny Ramirez, Greg Tarzan Davis, Ed Harris, and Val Kilmer also appear in the film.
