Here’s a fun holiday mashup video for your viewing enjoyment! Top Gun: Maverick star Glen Powell took to Twitter to ask a “talented editor” to “give the world a trailer cut where Maverick is recruited to be Santa Clause and he has to train a bunch of young, cocky reindeer to trust their instincts to fly…”
So, Nerdist answered the call and created a video titled “Top Gun: Yuletide – The Christmas Mission” for the holidays. The video came with the following description:
Cruise-ing in just in time for the holidays is our trailer for Top Gun: Yuletide. Glen Powell (Lt. Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin) wondered what it would look like if Maverick trained Santa’s reindeer for Christmas and we here at Nerdist have the answer! So if you’ve got the Need for Speed this holiday season, join Nerdist for a Christmas mission in Top Gun: Yuletide!”
The fan video includes some creative editing using footage from Top Gun: Maverick and various other holiday films. It all works great and it’s just silly fun to watch Maverick train reindeer how to fly instead of fighter pilots. I hope you get a kick out of this!
Can some talented editor give the world a trailer cut where Maverick is recruited to be Santa Clause and he has to train a bunch of young, cocky reindeer to trust their instincts to fly Mach 25 to deliver every kid their presents in one night?
