In an age when the celebrity-filmmaker seems to be in decline, Waititi has carved out a niche and made sure he’s the one to fill it.But what exactly is that niche? More so than pretty much any director of his profile,…

Zendaya is only 25-years-old, but the young actress has already become a massive star. From movie roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to her Emmy win for her HBO series Euphoria it’s clear that Zendaya is a talent with a great deal ahead of her, so it’s no wonder she was named to Time’s 100 Most Influential People Of 2022.

Top Gun: Maverick soars onto cinema screens tomorrow, with the goal of paying homage to its 1986 prequel, visually and spiritually, all while telling a fresh story in the same world that won hearts over all those years ago. Tom Cruise is back to piloting fighter jets, along with newly trained pilots Miles Teller, Glen Powell, and Lewis Pullman, among others, meaning we’re bound to see more of the iconic, high-octane aviation sequences from the original film, perhaps brought to even greater heights with modern…

Although he changed the sport to football, the Top Gun: Maverick director stayed true to the skin-famous scene while making it a little less random.
