'Top Gun 2,' Tom Cruise may prep for liftoff
Paramount Pictures hasn't lost that lovin' feeling for "Top Gun." The studio has reportedly made offers to producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Tony Scott to make a sequel to the high-flying '80s action film, according to Vulture.
Not only that, but Tom Cruise as Maverick may don those aviators again for a smaller role, if all goes well with "The Usual Suspects" Oscar-winning scribe Christopher McQuarrie.
This depends on how well written the part is. Apparently, Cruise wants Lt. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell back only if it's not too "obvious," like a flight instructor or some such.
May we suggest Maverick as a volleyball beach bum who slings cocktails? He can be our wingman any time.
Would you be into a "Top Gun" sequel? How about a new generation of Mavericks?

Um, no.
Hells Yeah!!!!!!!!!!! Been waiting for this forever.
Here's the sequel:
Maverick should be an instructor, even though its obvious, but one of his students, a girl, proves to be a challenge just like he was (but she isn't a romantic interest for him). Turns out it is Goose's daughter, who blames Maverick for his death. Meg Ryan comes back, helps her see the truth about Maverick (possibly pairing Tom with Meg), then the final air battle with the North Koreans after they attack the air craft carrier the top gun students are all conveniently on for their graduation.
I have waited for years to see where those Top Gun Studs are today. It could start out as a re-cap where they are and what they have been up too since Top Gun School. Pentagon, Instructors retired ec. Then New studs like Ashton Kutcher ad Taylor Laughtner. We can see Charlie has aged and maybe she and Mav married and had a kid and he's a cocky young maverick. Definitely need a young Iceman or his kids just like him and the two kids can have been in competition since babies like their Dads at Top Gun.
If this movie gets made, I sure hope it's less dumb than the original. And I'd like to see Cruise with a big role instead of a small one. The nemesis turned mentor of the protagonist. An instructor at Miramar who gets assigned to the same carrier as the protagonist.
Or Cruise is visited by Xenu who takes him away in his spaceship to teach him the secret flying techniques intended for COSFPs (Church of Scientology Fighter Pilots) in the upcoming 2nd volcano cleansing.
