Beyond that, during CinemaBlend’s own chat with Kosinski about the project, he made sure to note that the Top Gun: Maverick will not move away from the aviator-centric premise of the original to focus on new technology like drones.
Top Gun 2 remains a Top Gun movie; it just happens to take place in a new era.
With all of that said, it’s still reasonably comforting to know that much of the essential Top Gun DNA will be on display in Top Gun 2.
Kosinksi’s comments about once again putting the audience into the front-seat of a fighter jet echo the atmosphere of Tony Scott’s original film.
