I was waiting for Rey to jump it in the opening scene there. ;b

 

[ThatStupidLion]

so is there a plot?

 

[macfoshizzle]

HOLY SHIT!!

 

[Ol'Scratch]

so is there a plot?

I am expecting something vaguely like a grown up Iron Eagle, with Maverick now the teaching a Top Gun class (probably full of cliches including one which will remind him of himself possibly even a female that will be the love interest) . Looks like the suits want the class shut down. Most likely some shit will go down with whoever the bad guy is these days (Iran? Iraq? Russia?) where he has to break the rules and the class will have to save the day.

 

[V2Tommy]

The plot has to be Tom Cruise vs. drones, obviously. And that's a great and simple premise to understand.

 

[Ivory Blood]

Where is the DANGER ZONE?!

Yep. Macross Plus confirmed!

 

[Ol'Scratch]

Yep. Macross Plus confirmed!

Add the soundtrack and I would watch it

 

[Ol'Scratch]

Tom Cruise himself was a surprise turn up at SDCC to present it so I am sure there will be alot of information forthcoming.

 

[Birdo]

I've got the need. The need to see this.

 

[gioGAF]

Not going to lie, that got me hyped as f'! Got the feels and everything.

"The end is inevitable, your kind is headed for extinction.
May be so sir, but not today."

Hell yeah, I'm there.

 

[Patrick S.]

Man, hyped as fuck for this! Top Gun was one of my favourite movies when I was a kid. Do we know for whom the funeral scene is?

 

[Pimpbaa]

F-18s? Lame! F-22, the upcoming F-15X, or even that ugly ass F-35 would have been better.

 

[Uhtred]

Oh man the feels.

He's flying it too isn't he, madman.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Not gonna lie. This trailer got me all antsy in my pantsy. Looks really impressive, visually

Tom Cruise Will Fly His Own Aircraft For 'Top Gun: Maverick' — Just Not The One You Think

If there is one thing that has remained a constant since the first Top Gun screamed into theaters three decades ago, it's Tom Cruise's need for speed.After rumors circulated last week that production on Top Gun: Maverick had again been halted so the actor could pilot his personal fighter jet for...

After rumors circulated last week that production on Top Gun: Maverick had again been halted so the actor could pilot his personal fighter jet for the film, Paramount Pictures confirmed that, yes, the hotly anticipated sequel will feature Cruise performing some of his own stunts. The studio also clarified that the production hasn't been put on hold.

Better yet, Paramount revealed that Cruise will be piloting an aircraft that is far more exotic than anything currently in the Navy fleet.

In May, Cruise posted a photo to Instagram that indicated Pete "Maverick" Mitchell had upgraded from an F-14 Tomcat to an F/A-18E/F Super Hornet strike fighter in the intervening years since the Cold War. However, Entertainment Weekly recently confirmed that even a big-name actor like Cruise doesn't have the star power to step into the cockpit of a Hornet. From EW (emphasis ours):

... civilians are not allowed to use government equipment, particularly militarized jets — so even Tom Cruise can't just take off in an F/A-18 Hornet, even if he does feel the need, the need for speed. (I know, we're a bit bummed about that too).

However, Cruise, a licensed pilot, has gone through extensive training for the film and will do some of his own flying "in certain aircrafts."

iceman is dead?

 

[Tesseract]

there's nothing in life like a fighter pilot who is hopped up on steroids and amphetamines

what a psycho maniac tom is, what an absolute unit, what a legend

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

iceman is dead?

Cunth never dies

 

[Tesseract]

i hope they sent cunth to the pentagon for this movie, gave him all the experimental drugs to get back into ultimate shape

maybe mav and him will fuck, maybe not

 

[God Enel]

CRUISE MISSILE IS BACK BABY

 

[M.W.]

Tom should be the next Bond, it's obvious.

 

[JimiNutz]

In for IMAX
Fighter jet porn is second only to nut porn in my opinion.

 

[Ol'Scratch]

iceman is dead?

I am fairly sure that Val Kilmer has at least a cameo

The Top Gun theme is one of those themes that I always mark out for

 

[Ulysses 31]

Will they release the official Mighty Wings instrumental this time?

 

[DeepEnigma]

I am digging the tone, this gonna be FIRE!

The Maverick Cruise Missile is back!

Cunth returning as Iceman.

Loved Oblivion and Tron Legacy, officially hyped. I haven't seen Only the Brave though.

 

[Pimpbaa]

What does it take to be eligible to fly a F-22? Maverick should have the experience. Too old?

 

[AnotherOne]

F-18s? Lame! F-22, the upcoming F-15X, or even that ugly ass F-35 would have been better.

F22 isn't on the aircraft carrier bud same with the f15.

 

[TGO]

Yeah that hit all the right spots
Officially Hyped!

 

[Pimpbaa]

F22 isn't on the aircraft carrier bud same with the f15.

Doh! I'm an idiot. Navy's only choices are the F-18 and the F-35 right?

 

[nkarafo]

Tom Cruise? A white man?

Why not a black woman?

 

[Tesseract]

pentagon prolly nutting all over themselves to make this movie

SHOW US THE GOODS

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Tom Cruise? A white man?

Why not a black woman?

Because it's Top Gun not Top Gat[/nugaf]

 

[Luffytubby]

 

[DisguiseArrsick]

I eagerly await the inevitable Hot Shots: Part 3 in honour of this.

 

[juliotendo]

Finally. A film from Hollywood that looks half decent.

Will see this for sure.

Oblivion was a wonderful surprise to me.

 

[CrankyJay™]

iceman is dead?

He's probably a 2 star admiral

 

[Pierogi]

so is there a plot?

He drives past an accident, knows he's not like anyone else, and realizes he has to do something about it. He knows he's the only one that can help.

 

[888]

So that one guy that flashes quickly in the trailer looks very much like Goose. Maybe his Kid from the first movie? Even shows him playing a Piano.
