Captain America: Brave New World Star on the Top Gun Influence
Captain America: Brave New World star reveals how his role in Top Gun altered his approach to playing Falcon in the new Marvel flick.
Article Summary
- Danny Ramirez discusses how Top Gun inspired his Falcon role in Captain America: Brave New World.
- His dedication to aerodynamics set him apart, bringing realism to the Falcon's flight sequences.
- Anthony Mackie stars as Captain America, with Ramirez stepping into the Falcon role for the MCU.
- Ramirez aims to impress Tom Cruise by channeling his Top Gun experiences into his Falcon portrayal.
In Captain America: Brave New World, fans get to see Danny Ramirez step into the role of Falcon (as a result of Anthony Mackie becoming Captain America), giving us a new hero who's likely going to be featured on a future Avengers lineup. And considering that the actor is now attached to two sky-bound characters (via Marvel and Top Gun), he's definitely taking things a little more seriously.
In conversation with Interview, Ramirez details the Top Gun Maverick influence in his performance, explaining, "I felt like if Tom [Cruise] saw my body positioning, he'd be judging the aerodynamics. You'll see in the BTS, I'm holding proper form, so whether or not body parts were replaced, that's not on me. I was aerodynamic, and banking when I had to bank, and trying to make sure that my head was in the right position because wind will then affect lift, and all these things. I think that's what was instilled in me having done Top Gun. 'Tom's maybe going to watch this and if he does, I better come correct.' So there were days that I would be the only one putting on a G-force face. Just because Sam's suit is a way more advanced thing that I'm like, 'Alright, he's under a different reality.' Mine's a little bit more analog, and so we have tubes to breathe, and I'm the literal cockpit. I'm the jet."
