Ultimately we’re just glad to see the Air Force getting in on the fun because Top Gun wouldn’t be Top Gun without a rivalry B story.
We still don’t know much about the overall plot of Top Gun: Maverick, but what we do know seems incredibly interesting.
The sequel will find Pete Mitchell (Tom Cruise) decades after the death of Goose, and it may see the pilot come face to face with the son of his deceased navigator.
Director Joseph Kosinski has remained relatively tight-lipped about the direction of the sequel, but he has confirmed that the film will represent a “rite of passage for Maverick” in the vein of the original.
