“I’m six-foot-four, 215 pounds, played college basketball,” says Ellis. Speaking to Men's Health, Jay Ellis (known for his role on Insecure) spoke about training for the role, including 45 hours of flight training. The film is up against some strong competition, including Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Whale, The Fabelmans, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. In addition to Best Picture, the film also received nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Song, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, and Best Visual Effects. The new film was so well received, in fact, it was nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. 38 years after the original Top Gun released in theaters, Tom Cruise is back in his leading role, along with Glen Powell, Danny Ramirez, and Jay Ellis, who are also Men's Health May cover stars.

That's all thanks to the release of Top Gun: Maverick.

The pandemic may still be ongoing, but movie theaters are seeing box office records (according to the LA Times) even with streaming reigning supreme.
