Danny Ramirez went from going to Tom Cruise’s boot camp for Top Gun: Maverick to playing Anthony Mackie’s wingman in the latest of the new Marvel movies . However, what did he learn from Hollywood’s stunt king that helped him play the Falcon, a superhero who can literally jet through the sky, in Captain America: Brave New World? Well, Ramirez recently spilled what wisdom went through his head while catching up with his fellow Maverick cast member Lewis Pullman.
In a new profile for Interview Magazine , Danny Ramirez chatted with Pullman about making his MCU movie debut in the Captain America movie that recently premiered on the 2025 movie schedule. Here’s how Tom Cruise came up when the new Falcon actor was asked about “flying” in Brave New World:
Well, that was because of the experience on Top Gun. 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.
Hey, once you’ve been trained by Tom Cruise like the Maverick cast was, they can expect the actor to support them from then on, and they, of course, want to be on his good list to get his famous Christmas cake every year. So, while Danny Ramirez was filming the stunt scenes for his Captain America movie, he was very careful to maintain his form while being in the air. He had a feeling the actor would be paying attention to his form, and he didn’t want to disappoint him should he see the movie.
