Top Gun 2 is now confirmed!
The movie's shooting have been started and it's scheduled for release on July 12, 2019.

Here:
https://variety.com/2018/film/news/tom- ... 202826439/

In the past I've read rumors that Top Gun 2 would feature the F-35C (or that the main character portraited by Cruise would "fly" one).
While the movie's plot is still "under wraps", one can read the following in the link above:

Although the plot is being kept under wraps, it’s been previously reported that Cruise’s character would now be a flight instructor and that the film would explore a world of drone technology, fifth-generation fighters and the end of the era of dog-fighting.


“The navy is very different now than it was in 1986,” said Kosinski, who previously worked with Cruise on 2013 sci-fi pic “Oblivion.”


Which could somehow confirm the above (F-35C).

But then again there's this "teaser pic":

“Active stealth” is what the ignorant nay sayers call EW and pretend like it’s new.

Sponsored by Boeing, they feel the need (pun intended) to keep the St Louis production line running. :lol:

I think you all misunderstand the poster.

He's not headed towards the Super Hornet, he's saying goodbye on his way to the F-35C :whistle:

Maybe the USN was referring to this display of "talent":

Oh Jesus. The USAF's official Twitter is parroting the "1875mph" speed idiocy. Looks like both are run by retards. :doh:

I just saw a news blurb that movie poster. It was just a teaser they have not even started filming yet. The image was made by a publicist, not a set image or even a concept art. But I guess we will know more next year....

Would be cool if they obfuscate the F-35 by using A, B, and C. Joe public wouldn't know the difference, especially between the B. So you have Maverick escape at the end on a freighter after landing vertically. The rest of the movie you jack with people by using A and C interchangeable. Really screw with people and refuel from a boom after taking off from a catapult...

Another thought, since "Maverick" will be an instructor and be flying a "Red Air" plane, it makes sense that it's a Super Hornet since that is an older generation plane, just like the A-4 Skyhawk in the original movie.

Wonder what the adversary would be? They can't get away with another "Mig-28".
Su-27,Su-35, Mig-35, J-11 maybe.

Will it be flown by the Chinese or the Russians? Thats just box office suicide.
So will it be Syrians?
Iranians? That would be strange seeing the F-14, the hero of TopGun 1 as the antagonist of Topgun 2.

What about a rouge Russian or Chinese General with an Ace pilot. Then they'll have some help with the airforce of that country making the secondary protagonist (Iceman) a Russian\Chinese pilot.
