TopGunMaverick actor Danny Ramirez calls out a studio for rewriting a script featuring a Latino lead to feature a white lead instead: 'If you can rewrite last minute for a white person. I better see rewrites the other way around as well.'
Top Gun: Maverick actor Danny Ramirez calls out a script edit on an upcoming studio film that removed its Latino lead character. Coming more than 35 years after Tony Scott's original Top Gun, Joseph Kosinski's sequel brings back Tom Cruise's hotshot pilot, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, and features him training a new batch of recruits for a dangerous mission.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In a recent tweet, Ramirez details a recent experience he had in which he auditioned for a lead role in an upcoming studio film only to have the Latino protagonist be rewritten as white at the last minute. The Top Gun: Maverick star explains in the thread that the script revolved around the protagonist being Latino and stresses that the same flexibility regarding rewriting characters' ethnicity should be applied to scripts with white protagonists as well.
Rachel Zegler, as well, is already a major Hollywood presence after starring in Steven Spielberg's West Side Story, and her star power is only set to grow over the next few years. The actor will not only appear in Shazam! Fury of the Gods but will also lead The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and an upcoming adaptation of Snow White.
Could Fanboy Return In Top Gun 3? Although Top Gun: Maverick was a massive success financially and is currently in the running for Best Picture at this year's Academy Awards, a third film is still not yet a guarantee. Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer have suggested that whether another movie happens is largely up to Cruise and, considering how busy he will be for the next few years, it could be a while before anything comes to fruition.
