TOP GUN 2'S DIRECTOR IS JOSEPH KOSINSKI



Top Gun's director, Tony Scott (younger brother of director Ridley Scott), was a go-to for decades when it came to expertly-crafted, action-centered films. Top Gun was one of Scott's biggest films in an already gigantic career, which included directing credits on Beverly Hills Cop II, Days of Thunder, and Enemy of the State. Unfortunately, Scott died in 2012, leaving behind some pretty big shoes to fill.

In May 2017, while Top Gun 2 was still in its early gestation, Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski was confirmed as the director. Kosinski has a small but impressive list of feature-length films to his name as he works on Maverick. In addition to Tron: Legacy (his feature debut), Kosinski has directed Cruise in 2013's Oblivion and went on to direct Teller in 2017's Only the Brave.
