Three years in the past, Danny Ramirez and Lewis Pullman’s appearing careers received main boosts once they starred reverse in Prime Gun: Maverick. Now these two are each concerned within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Ramirez reprising Joaquin Torres, a.okay.a. the brand new Falcon, in Captain America: Courageous New World, and Lewis Pullman debuting as Bob Reynolds, a.okay.a. Sentry, in Thunderbolts*, with each being 2025 film releases. I used to be happy to be taught from the previous actor of how Cruise has been supporting their work, which is umbrellaed below his continued pushing for a return to the flicks.
My latest interview Danny Ramirez, which was tied to Captain America: Courageous New World now being obtainable to stream with a Disney+ subscription, noticed him clearing up how “intensive” the Courageous New World reshoots had been and sharing how Maverick co-writer Christopher McQuarrie helped out on the film. At first of our dialog although, I requested Ramirez if he’d communicated with Tom Cruise since Courageous New World got here out and realized what the Mission: Not possible actor thought concerning the film. He responded:
I’ve communicated with him, do not know what he thought of it. As with Lewis Pullman becoming a member of the MCU, he is extremely happy with us. He spoke at size of the influence, particularly as storytellers… It’s uncommon to hitch a world the place individuals are gonna watch. Particularly within the profession of an actor, I believe there’s a variety of stuff we do this nobody sees, proper? There’s initiatives which are utterly buried and below the radar, and Tom, being the storyteller he’s and the fan of movie he’s, he is like, ‘The stuff that you simply and Lewis are doing, man, that is unbelievable.’ He’s seen us from the second we’re Bob and Fanboy, and now we’re Bob and Falcon.
Tom Cruise is a busy man and as of late has been selling Mission: Not possible — The Remaining Reckoning, his remaining outing as Ethan Hunt. So he could not have had time to look at Captain America: Courageous New World but, as I think about he would have informed Danny Ramirez what he considered it if he had seen the film. Nevertheless, it’s heartwarming that Cruise has shared with each Ramirez and Lewis Pullman about the place they’re with their careers.
Even when the MCU’s previous few years of film and TV choices haven’t been the strongest, it stays one of many greatest franchises on the planet and nonetheless ranks because the highest-grossing movie franchise. Say what you’ll about these tales, however the majority of the MCU’s theatrical output places butts in theater seats, one thing that Tom Cruise likes to see. Keep in mind, there was a time through the pandemic when a number of streaming corporations tried purchase the streaming rights to Prime Gun: Maverick, however Cruise insisted that it get a correct theatrical launch. That paid off large time with a $1.3 billion world haul.
Hopefully Tom Cruise makes time to look at Captain America: Courageous New World and Thunderbolts* if he hasn’t already, as I’m certain he’d get a kick out of seeing Danny Ramirez and Lewis Pullman taking part in superheroes. If nothing else, he must get caught up on these characters’ tales earlier than they each return for the upcoming Marvel motion pictures Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. The previous arrives on December 18, 2026, and the latter on December 17, 2027.
Wanting outdoors of the MCU, I’ll cross my fingers that Cruise, Ramirez and Pullman all reunite for Prime Gun 3, which does have a narrative in place. Stream the 2 current Prime Gun motion pictures together with your Paramount+ subscription.
