TOP GUN: MAVERICK First Trailer Released

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.

Poked around and found that Miles Teller is playing the role of Goose's son. Glen Powell was originally up for the role, but ended up getting an expanded alternate role in the movie (he's playing volleyball in the trailer).

Awesome. That's a cool angle to go with. I bet he is going to go in a hot shot like Maverick and blame him for his Fathers accident.

Yeah, the generational angle makes a lot of sense.

Also, I ain't even mad about the Hollywood sequelitis with the Cruise Missile:

Hell yeah.

Besides his weirdness personally he makes good movies. And it makes me happy to see Live Die Repeat and Repeat. The MI movies have been pretty good lately and I never mind watching one. They have been better than the latest bond movies to me.
 
Whoa what the hell is this? A Hollywood reboot that isn't woke?

How is it possible that they didn't gender bend and swap races for the characters? You would think that Cruise would of been replaced by a black albino trans women and Kilmer by a Gay Latino.

Is it possible that no going woke and no going broke?

Fighter jets are woke AF bruh
 


Tom Cruise intro.

Cruise also is saying that everything you see in that trailer is real. All actual on site aviation, real jets, real pilots and real locations.
 
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.
Is t that the plot of Police Academy?
 
The girl aviator's callsign is Pheonix.....


Surprise stealth MCU film confirmed. X-Men get introduced at end and save Maverick at last second.

I'm too smart for you, Hollywood

You can't woke the Cruise Missile. Guy carries way too much weight behind him.

There's an amazing story about how during the filming of the first movie, Tony Scott paid the navy $50,000 out of his pocket to have the Enterprise turn around so they could get a sunset shot.
 
Love the Cruise missile. One of the most consistent actors of our time. Considering how many movies he's made I can only think of a handful of them that I didn't enjoy.
Some of the flight footage in this trailer looks phenomenal, shots of taking off from the carrier are gonna look so damn good in 4k
 
I have a feeling it's gonna have unmanned plane dynamic. And he's the last great pilot type of plot. Maybe Gooses Kid flys the remote planes or something. That last line that he is about to go extinct or something makes me think it's about drones or something.
 
HELL. YES.

Top Gun is one of those movies I watched over and over as a kid. Regardless of his personal life, Tom Cruise is still a movie star people will line up to watch, no question. It's amazing it's taken this long to make a sequel. Those cockpit scenes in particular look amazing. Perhaps they were done in CG, but knowing Cruise he probably insisted filming them on a real jet.
 
F-18s? Lame! F-22, the upcoming F-15X, or even that ugly ass F-35 would have been better.

Nah the F-18 is the closest thing to a proper old-school fighter still around, close to the F-14 at least, so for movie purposes it makes sense. The broken turd that is the F-35 is really not much cop and wouldn't be particularly exciting in a movie, the focus on stealth wouldn't fit. Plus the f-18 is a 2-seater, allowing callbacks to the original, while I think the F-35 is single-seater. F-22 is also single-seat, so that may explain ruling that out.

In other news: Please please please be awesome. Top Gun is one of my all-time favourite films, for the soundtrack alone let alone the sheer awesomeness of the film, a part of my childhood that means a lot to me and made me love motorbikes and fighter planes.

Does Tom Cruise age? He's pushing 60 for gods sake.

Scientology is spending every last dollar on face lifts and hair dye.

Based on wikipedia, the vast majority of the F/A-18s in use by the US Navy are the Single Seater F/A-18E version. Or have been converted to the E version.

But this movie is probably using the two seater F/A-18F version for filming purposes.

But there are certainly shots in the trailer that are the single seat version. So I suspect they will shoot the actors in a two seater for the cockpit shots. But then exterior shots will be the single seater.

Apparently Tom Cruise is a licenced pilot and is certified for many types of aircraft. But I don't think we should expect scenes of him actually flying of these 70M dollar jets.
 
I sort of missed the boat on the original, but the screens in the OP look great, I'm a big TC fan. Very interested to see this!
 
The next movie after this theyre going 'woke' again

Tom Cruise will be replaced by Hispanic Tom Cruz aka Maverico Tabarez😃

Hes going south siding with spanish government against the evil government of Erusiamericano lead by Trumplitskin

Trump proceed to send Mobius 1to fight him

Hence the story of Ace Combat 8 begin

Cool for top gun fans I guess, but modern Hollywood really needs to create some original content. Remake, reboot, sequel, rinse and repeat is starting to wear a little thin.
