Teller will be playing the son of the first film&#8217;s fighter pilot &#8220;Goose&#8221; played by Anthony Edwards.<\/p>\n<p>In the original film, Goose was the wingman of Tom Cruise&#8217;s fighter pilot Maverick. When Maverick is killed in an accident, Maverick blames himself and has to overcome his guilt to get back in the cockpit.<\/p>\n<p>This sequel will see Cruise&#8217;s Maverick as an instructor in the Navy&#8217;s top gun program as the military transitions from jet fighters to combat drones. The film is set to be directed by Cruise&#8217;s <strong>Oblivion<\/strong> helmer Joseph Kosinski. The late Tony Scott directed the 1986 original.<\/p>\n<p>Teller reportedly beat out the other two finalists in the casting search &#8211; Nicholas Hoult and Glen Powell &#8211; for the role after all three screen tested with Criose last week. Dylan O&#8217;Brien and Austin Butler were among those reported up for the role but who were cut from consideration earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Truth be told, while I definitely feel that Teller is a great actress, I don&#8217;t see much of a resemblance between him and Edwards. If anything I see more of a similarity between Teller and Cruise, which I suppose could make for an interesting plot twist. <\/p>\n<p>Production is expected to start soon for a July 12, 2019 release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">The WHIPLASH actor will have a need for speed in the upcoming sequel.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2018\/07\/03\/miles-teller-lands-top-gun-2-role\/\" title=\"Miles Teller Lands TOP GUN 2 Role\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[7012,257,4878],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-44040","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-miles-teller","8":"tag-tom-cruise","9":"tag-top-gun-2"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44040"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44040\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44040"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=44040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
