Collider<\/a> on what fans can expect from the sequel that’s been 34 years in the making.<\/p>\n\u201cThey\u2019re using some technology on this that is never before seen. We\u2019re shooting the movie in, I think, 6K. So it\u2019s incredibly hi-def. The aerial footage is mind-blowing,” Hamm revealed.<\/p>\n
He also praised the film’s commitment to doing the film’s action set pieces in camera: “It\u2019s mostly practical. There\u2019s not a lot of CG. Those guys are really up in planes and getting thrown around in multiple Gs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tony Scott’s 1986 original film is one of Hollywood’s most iconic. Its fans are legion, and we can count Hamm among their numbers. Even Don Draper felt all the nostalgia walking onto the film’s sets — some of which directly called back (obviously) to those from the first movie.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a very strange experience, but it\u2019s been a wonderful experience as well. It\u2019s basically getting the whole team back together … I think it\u2019s gonna be, for the people who love the first movie, I think it\u2019s gonna\u2019 be very interesting to watch. It very much takes the story in a different direction. But I think for the new fans, it\u2019s gonna be something very cool, too. I\u2019ve seen some of the footage — it is out of this world.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to Cruise and Hamm,\u00a0Maverick<\/em> also features Val Kilmer reprising his role of Mav’s rival pilot-turned-wingman anytime, Iceman. The film also re-teams Cruise with\u00a0Mission: Impossible – Fallout<\/em> writer and director Christopher McQuarrie, who did some rewrites on the film.<\/p>\nFans have waited almost 40 years to watch their favorite cocky pilot take to the skies once again, and they’ll finally get a chance to see it when\u00a0Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> hits theaters June 26, 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s almost time to head back into the Danger Zone. 2020 marks the return of Tom Cruise’s Maverick in\u00a0Top Gun: Maverick and Jon Hamm is along for the ride in the Joseph Kosinski-directed sequel.
