The world of Hollywood is unpredictable in its own unique way, and so forging a path in this land is not a job for everyone. This couldn’t hold more true than in the case of two of Tom Cruise’s ‘prodigies,’ Glen Powell and Miles Teller. Both actors appeared in the highly successfulTop Gun 2, receiving an immense boost to their careers.
While Powell has been riding high on the success of the film and has mapped out a brilliant career for himself, the same cannot be said for Teller. However, this can change with his latest film. Starring in the horror thrillerThe Gorgealongside Anya Taylor-Joy, Teller can finally get to use some of hisTop Gun 2fame and follow in the footsteps of his co-star Glen Powell.
Miles Teller might finally have a hit afterTop Gun 2fame
Top Gun 2did not just revive an iconic franchise and bring back the global box office with its exemplary performance, but it also helped give a boost to the careers of two stars:Glen PowellandMiles Teller. While both have been in the film industry for a long time, this was the first time that they tasted success of this magnitude.
While Powell has since gone on to become the leading Hollywood man and an icon, Teller has been struggling to make use of the momentum that theTom Cruise-starrer film gave him. But theDivergentstar’s recent film,The Gorge,might help him change that.

Meanwhile,The Gorge,on the other hand, has been earning some favorable reviews ahead of its release later this week.
#TheGorgeis a wild genre mash-up—part rom-com, part horror-action thriller. Think Sleepless in Seattle, but the leads are snipers in a Resident Evil game. Some of the CGI is rough, but the originality of the premise plus the chemistry between Miles & Anya make it a fun ride.pic.twitter.com/frL58IszU8

While it is still too early to say thatThe Gorgeis a success, since the film is yet to be released to the public, the premise and chemistry between Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy alone make it a good watch. Moreover, there are rumors that if the film is a success, it might even lead to a franchise, spelling more potential good news for Miles Teller and his fans.
