:0:1

Falcon star Danny Ramirez attributes his flight skills in the MCU"s Captain America: Brave New World to Top Gun: Maverick co-star Tom Cruise. Danny Ramirez"s Joaquin Torres made his MCU debut in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, where he received Sam Wilson"s Falcon wings before Sam officially became Captain America. By the events of Captain America: Brave New World, Joaquin Torres has already received a major upgrade that grants him the title of the MCU"s Falcon — Captain America"s loyal companion.
Speaking to Interview, Joaquin Torres actor Danny Ramirez was asked what his experience was like flying as Falcon in Captain America: Brave New World. Ramirez thanks his experience playing Lieutenant Mickey "Fanboy" Garcia in Top Gun: Maverick, where he flew alongside Tom Cruise. Ramirez kept Cruise in mind when adjusting his technique, thinking "Tom’s maybe going to watch this and if he does, I better come correct.” Read Danny Ramirez"s full response below:

"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. [...] I think that’s what was instilled in me having done Top Gun. "Tom’s maybe going to watch this and if he does, I better come correct." So there were days that I would be the only one putting on a G-force face. Just because Sam’s suit is a way more advanced thing that I’m like, "Alright, he’s under a different reality." Mine’s a little bit more analog, and so we have tubes to breathe, and I’m the literal cockpit. I’m the jet."
