Jacinto, recently seen in Star Wars spin-off series The Acolyte, was cast as one of the fighter pilots in training in the big-budget sequel alongside Miles Teller, Glen Powell and Lewis Pullman. Top Gun: Maverick went onto make $1.5bn worldwide and helped to propel the career of Powell who can be seen headlining this week’s disaster sequel Twisters before taking on the lead in Edgar Wright’s remake of The Running Man.
