Top Gun 3 Update! Jay Ellis On 'Maverick' Bond & Sequel Plans
Do the bonds forged in the heat of Hollywood battles truly last? For Jay Ellis, the answer seems to be a resounding yes, as he recently shared insights into the enduring camaraderie he shares with his fellow cast members from 'Top Gun: Maverick.' This revelation came during his appearance on 'The Drew Barrymore Show,' offering a glimpse into the tight-knit relationships formed years after the cameras stopped rolling.
Ellis, known for his role as Lieutenant Reuben "Payback" Fitch in the critically acclaimed 2022 American action drama, spoke fondly of the connections he made on set. 'Top Gun: Maverick,' directed by Joseph Kosinski and penned by Ehren Kruger, not only soared at the box office but also seemingly fostered genuine friendships among its stars.
