Yeah. Up until then it kinda worked
No present-day stuff. Entire movie takes place in the '60s. We see Mav as a baby/kid at the end and that's it.

JB!98 said:I am good with it, just thinking that having Cruise in it may give it and him a little incentive to cooperate. You could do the Magnum P.I. arc with his dad also. Lots of different angles. I think it centering on his dad and Viper is a winner though and lets you introduce new actors. Could also do something with Maverick's mom. It would have to roll into the 70's though because most of those top gun grads saw most of their combat during Linebacker II in '72.TCTTS said:JB!98 said:Ok, first re-write. Can the kid.

Got it, yeah, I just meant no present day stuff. And I think part of the attraction would be that Cruise doesn't have to star in it, he could only produce. I'm betting the main reason he nixed the Days of Thunder thing was because it would be a TV series going straight to Paramount+, when he seems borderline obsessed with the theatrical experience.

If it is indeed your garage, she doesn't get a say.
Great point, that is part of the deal for all of us husbands isn't it. They get the house we get the garage.
Maybe just because I love Glen Powell in every role he's in, my only critique of this movie is I wanted more screen time for Hangman.bangobango said:There will almost surely be a sequel with the way Hollywood is today.GrayMatter said:
As a huge fan of Top Gun, TG: Maverick was everything that I thought it would be and more.
But...
I absolutely do not want a sequel and I hope Tom doesn't do one either. Maverick with Penny, her daughter and Rooster at the end in the hangar is how it should end.
I could see Top Gun: Rooster, Top Gun: Phoneix, Top Gun: Hangman, etc.
Not sure if Cruise has any say in it, but with the way this movie has performed I cannot imagine Paramount not demanding a sequel. Maybe if Cruise can veto it, then it doesn't get done (and I could see him doing that, to be honest), but otherwise I would be shocked if there weren't spin-offs from this and the attempt to start a franchise like Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Marvel, etc.
I could see them doing it with Cruise not in it at all, or as a very minor role, maybe.
That being said, I would totally be in on a sequel that revolved around Rooster and Hangman. Just have Maverick pop up in a cameo role to give them some advice or something. There's got to be a way we can get more of this Top Gun in our lives.

And also accidentally kills his own father before he's born, opening a paradox. Then the movie fades to black, without telling the audience how the paradox plays out.
Another reason I think they try and make more in this universe is because they created special cameras just for these planes so now that they have that technology I can't imagine they dont try to use it again.
Agreed, you don't want to turn it into a formula film.

If Cruise isn't able to veto it, then you'll have Hangman Free jumping from his shot and smoking jet into the cockpit of Rooster's jet w/in three sequels from now. It'll be called "Top Gun: Too Top, Too Gun."

Beating Dr. Strange to $400 million is a phenomenal achievement, like Hank Aaron roaring past Willie Mays to break Babe Ruth's record. Would never have thought it was going to happen until it happened.
Consider Dr. Strange was at $354 million on the day before Maverick came out.
Monday was Maverick's 18th day at the box, and it's at $401 million. Strange was at $346 million at the same date, albeit without a massive holiday opening weekend and the first couple of weeks with school still in session.
$600 million seems like a mortal lock for Maverick, thing will probably blow the balls off the top of theaters on 4th of July weekend. Domestically that gets you knocking on the door of top 10 all-time domestic (The Last Jedi sits 10th at $620 million).
What a triumph for Cruise.

Ask any pilot, any real pilot. It don't matter if you win Top Gun by an inch or a mile.
Just got back from seeing it a second time. We barely ever see movies twice in the theater, but this is one of the best movies we've seen in a long time. Just top notch from every aspect.

how did we go 23 pages without an Archer Gif?
I thought it was funny how different cruise looked in his monologue and the movie. That's some crazy editing or whatever it is.

Well there was like a ten year delay between shooting and movie release.
