This story is going to get into spoilers for "Top Gun: Maverick," so if you landed in here but haven’t yet strapped yourself in for the sequel, pull the eject chord now.

For the bulk of Joseph Kosinski’s "Top Gun: Maverick," Tom Cruise’s legendary fighter pilot is hated on by Miles Teller’s Rooster, the son of the late Goose who blames Mav for his father’s death. Maverick could clear up some of the disconnect between the men, but first he needs to train Rooster and his compatriots to complete a harrowing mission… if Maverick decides to nominate Rooster for the gig, in the first place. The emotional tension between these two men gives "Top Gun: Maverick" more emotional weight than I personally expected, and the moment when Rooster and Maverick return to the flight deck and hug as the movie concludes, I legitimately choked up. The pent-up frustration expressed by Miles Teller throughout the movie finally melted away.

So when we sat across from each other at the "Top Gun: Maverick" world premiere press event in San Diego, I had to ask Miles Teller what it felt like to film that pivotal scene with Tom Cruise, knowing how much emotion needed to be conveyed between the actors.
