Aren't they about 28-29 years too late? Cruise could still cut it, but the rest are fat slobs.

31 years later? Cruise's character could only be some 3 or 4 star Admiral at this point flying a desk but you know they'll have him flying around like it's 1986 again.

Yikes....Val Kilmer (aka. Iceman) better start hitting the gym. He hasn't been looking to good.

He's also recovering from cancer.

Ooh, with F/A-18 Hornets?

Was Maverick and Ice Man.

Now Metamucil and Icy Hot.

Difficult not to think they might've waited a bit too long on this one.

Tom Cruise's character "Maverick" is head of the Top Gun school, taking over from Tom Skerritt's "Viper."

He has to fight off a senator who wants to shit-can manned fighters and the Top Gun School in favor of drones while simultaneously teaching a new generation of fighter pilots that dog fighting is about skill and awareness, not moving a cursor on a touchscreen.

In his last class before retiring he meets a young pilot like himself, who has a natural gift for flying while also breaking the rules in both the air and on the ground.

Just before the senator succeeds in closing the book on manned naval aviation, North Koreans start beef along the 38th parallel using stolen Chinese tech (shoutout to China, we won't make you the big bad guy, but you can still be in it cuz we want your money). This tech jams all frequencies used to control drones. Rumor has it that the drone-jamming tech was brought to NKOR by a group of Old Guard Rogue PLA pilots who defected to the NORKs, taking their sophisticated fighters with them.

Maverick's graduating class is in for fight of their lives.

That's my best guess anyways

It will be interesting to see how they deal with the F/A-18E/F v. F-35C issue.

Best guess, my ass! LOL

Maverick is base commander. Zombie Goose is his XO. A fat overweight Iceman is the guy who gets coffee dumped on him repeatedly in the control tower. The Marines have taken over Miramar so Top Gun School is now at Fallon. Top Gun students battle with gambling addiction and the effects of syphilis since there's no beach to play volleyball on anywhere near Fallon. There will be a hot female version of Maverick wearing fishnets and stilettos with the skirt in her service khakis and there will be a tumultuous torrid affair with her and Maverick against a back drop of a military crisis in which the bad guys fly F-16's that will be referred to as Mig-35's.

Didn't they already do a sequel?

I heard they'll have these alien pods in their retirement home swimming pool which is managed by Val Kilmer doing his best Wilfred Brimley meets Ice with the Beetus without needing any makeup or costuming, and they'll take dips in the pool to recharge and regain their long lost youth so that they have enough energy for one last, super duper gay, volleyball game that takes up the bulk of the film,

(eyeroll)

DANGER ZONE! Wait, are we still doing phrasing?

The story will probably revolve around Maverick, as the CO of the TG program, deciding upon retirement, leaving it to assist in a pilot rescue ( Gooses son) while fighting off unmanned fighter drones in his F-35. The real danger zone here is disturbing the legacy of the original movie. Sometimes making money is not so good...

Wow, somehow I missed that episode of SNL in my youth. I hope "Top Gun 2: There's no points for 2nd place" is better than the Red Dawn remake from a coupe years ago.

Will this spur an Iron Eagle remake or Iron Eagle 12 or whatever they are on now?

Haha, LDD, that was awesome, I feel like I just saw the movie!!

Oh yeah, new Maverick will be a female, black, lesbian.

Kelly McGillis?

I feel the need...for Metamucil.

Top Gun 2 will finally explore Maverick/Cruise's struggle with his own homosexuality.
