The Navy is banking on "Top Gun: Maverick" striking gold twice for naval aviation.
Capt. Brian Ferguson has been a Navy pilot for 28 years. After nearly four years of secrecy imposed by Paramount Pictures, he can finally talk about his role as the Navy’s technical advisor for the film. Standing with an F-18 Super Hornet in the background on Naval Base North Island, Ferguson says he was a fan of the original "Top Gun."
“So my career essentially started in 1986 when I saw the first movie and I said, 'I want to do that. I want to land on ships in a jet and go into combat,' ” he said.

..."Cruise has made several superior movies over the last decade or so, including the "Mission Impossible" movies, "Oblivion," "Edge of Tomorrow" and the first "Jack Reacher" film. He's also made a second, far less impressive "Jack Reacher" and the terrifying disaster that was "The Mummy."
Fortunately, "Top Gun: Maverick" is working from a screenplay co-written by current "MI" writer/director Christopher McQuarrie and is directed by "Oblivion" director Joseph Kosinski, who also helmed last year's underrated firefighter movie "Only the Brave." Cruise brought his A-team to "Maverick."...
