Joseph Kosinski's Top Gun: Maverick (2022) didn't just resurrect a franchise — it recalibrated what a legacy sequel could achieve, and along the way it introduced Glen Powell's Hangman as the cocky foil Cruise's Maverick recognises from his own reflection. Powell wears the Ray-Ban RB2132 New Wayfarer in the film's bar and beach sequences, the slightly softer geometry distinguishing his character from the original's harder edges while maintaining the Ray-Ban lineage that runs through the franchise's visual DNA. The New Wayfarer's approachable scale suits Hangman's calculated charm — a younger pilot who's studied the Maverick playbook and updated the optics for a new generation of cockpit bravado.
The Ray-Ban RB2132 New Wayfarer reinterprets the original Wayfarer with a softer, more refined shape and a slightly smaller profile. Crafted from durable acetate, it retains the iconic design language while offering improved everyday wearability. Often available with G-15, gradient, or polarized lenses, it provides balanced visual clarity and reliable sun protection. The lighter frame and adjusted curvature ensure a comfortable and secure fit across a wide range of face shapes.
