It's now official. Something tells me though that this sequel won't have anywhere near the pop culture influence that the original has. https://variety.com/2018/film/news/tom-cruise-top-gun-maverick-photo-1202826439/

I read they were trying to do a flashback with Goose.. If they want to use Anthony Edwards they will have to use some major CGI de-ageing effects for that flashback. Not necessarily, there is always footage on the cutting room floor that didn't work for the original that might work for the sequel? Wheels

Man, I love that pic! That helmet is like seeing an old friend again Maybe they can fly in Iran where I think they still use Tomcats? While I'm okay with the Hornet, nothing really replaces my first love...

I'm SO IN! Saw the original in the theater and it was AWESOME. I even hope they get Kenny Loggins to do the soundtrack. Or just reuse the original, I don't care. I want some cameos from the original. Make Ice Man the admiral who will fly with Mav anytime, but still busts his chops for not fulfilling his potential because he's DANGEROUS. LOL
My guess: Goose's kid will be coming through Top Gun where Mav is training and has a grudge against him for living while Goose died.
The F-18 has a 2 seater variant, right? That alone might be the reason for it. Gotta have someone to take the Polaroids and freak out...or maybe run the Go Pro these days. Probably easier production-wise too. Not to mention they're a lot cooler looking than the F-35.

Yeah! Re-use the original music, give us cool new airplane shots, and we wouldn't care! I want some cameos from the original. Make Ice Man the admiral who will fly with Mav anytime, but still busts his chops for not fulfilling his potential because he's DANGEROUS. LOL I'm not so sure I'd want that in the movie itself, but put that in a bonus scene on the DVD and it will be gold!! Maybe make Mav do the rubber-dog-#%&*$#-out-of-Hong-Kong line on a young, reckless pilot too! My guess: Goose's kid will be coming through Top Gun where Mav is training and has a grudge against him for living while Goose died. Or for throwing away Goose's dog tags instead of giving it to the family. Seriously? Too much emo there, Maverick!! Not to mention they're a lot cooler looking than the F-35. This!! I don't like the Hornet that much compared to the Tomcat but I'd rather the Hornet than the F-35 any day!

Couldn't be worse than the original!

Well, I don't or resuming I completely and totally disagree with the above! The F-35C (the version used by the US Navy) looks cooler than the Super Hornet, but this again is obviously my opinion and "beauty is on the eye of the beholder". Besides the F-35C is better in every sense compared to the Super Hornet. P.S - This is a long time Hornet fan speaking...

I don't have much faith in Hollywood and their remakes these days. They ought to hire you guys to write the sequel because this stuff I would pay to see. Yeah! Re-use the original music, give us cool new airplane shots, and we wouldn't care! I want some cameos from the original. Make Ice Man the admiral who will fly with Mav anytime, but still busts his chops for not fulfilling his potential because he's DANGEROUS.
