Top Gun 2 looks like it has found its main actress

Paul Moore

Top Gun 2

Will she take Maverick’s breath away?

In terms of flirting techniques, it’s hard to beat Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell in Tony Scott’s cult-classic, Top Gun.

After spotting her in a bar, Maverick – with a little help from Goose – instantly serenaded his Top Gun instructor with a famous version of You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling.

He followed this up by bragging about that time he was in a 4G inverted dive with a MiG-28 in an effort to “keep up foreign relations. You know, giving him the bird?” See, it’s bulletproof.

Well, production on Top Gun: Maverick is firmly on the highway to the dangerzone because after Val Kilmer announced his return as Ice Man, we learned that Miles Teller (Whiplash) will be playing Goose’s son.

It’s still too painful to talk about his death.

On this note, The Wrap are reporting that Jennifer Connelly (Blood Diamond, A Beautiful Mind) is in early talks to join Tom Cruise as he feels the need for speed again.

What do you make of that? Will it take “a lot more than just fancy flying” to impress the latest lady in Maverick’s life?

Top Gun: Maverick is set to hit theaters on July 12, 2019 with Joseph Kosinski directing.

FYI, any excuse for this is always welcome.
