Maverick Takes a Machete to His Lines


Actor Manny Jacinto recently opened up about his disappointing and brief appearance in the film “Top Gun: Maverick,” where his character had no speaking lines and only a few seconds on screen. Despite months of preparation, Jacinto was not surprised by his limited role, emphasizing the need for people of color to create their own opportunities in Hollywood. The sequel to the 1986 blockbuster follows Tom Cruise’s character, Maverick, as he trains new pilots at the naval flight academy. Jacinto underwent intense training for the role, but his character ended up being significantly reduced in the final cut of the film, prompting disappointment among fans.

Director Joseph Kosinski explained that the decision to cut down Jacinto’s role, along with several other fighter pilots, was necessary to focus on the main story and create the best version of the film. Jacinto expressed gratitude for the experience of being part of such a large franchise and working with Cruise. While Cruise did not comment on the controversy, Jacinto’s performance as Qimir in “The Acolyte” has garnered praise and acclaim. Overall, Jacinto’s experience in “Top Gun: Maverick” may have been brief, but it has not dampened his success in his other projects. Fans and critics alike have praised his talent and performance in “The Acolyte.”
