Not a knock on Jennifer Connely, but it's out of character for him. Mav needs a Megan Fox in Transformers level gf to cary the film. Gotta get back to his roots. The single mom bartender trope run its course.


He didn’t have one of those in the original. She was pretty, but the movie never needed a knockout lady interest

Maybe Hollywood is finally figuring out the formula to make half a billion dollars at the theater isn't that complicated and not everything needs to be a social commentary.

Good plot, some humor, family friendly, likeable actors and characters....big profit.

liberals on this board disagree. They need social commentary and wokeness and race swapping.

I think they will try to thread the needle of the international audience and avoid enemies that might be viewed differently in China or in Europe

They didn't do that in Maverick. The enemy was clearly Iran. The enemy is still Iran. Seeing as we basically have destroyed their military entirely, might be time for another antagonist. I have no idea where Pete is gonna get another Tomcat. Have to borrow one from an aircraft museum.

Honestly rather see Days of Thunder 2 than TG 3.

Crossover with Pitt's F1 character.

The movie is fact and fiction, jabroni. No, they don't have fifth gen fighters. But they're also the last country in the world with F-14 Tomcats.

Unless he got a huge promotion after Maverick and is the CO of a carrier group, people will be looking for the AARP sticker on his canopy.

I know, movie, suspension of disbelief, etc. but I don't think Navy pilots have a career path that puts them in command of a battle group.

More than likely Mav would be an air wing commander/CAG like Stinger was in the original. I think they are typically captains. If Mav got his admiral star(s) he most likely has a desk job somewhere.

Navy fighter pilots typically become Commanding Officers of aircraft carriers. Guess what ship is the flagship of battle groups. Lots of Navy pilots have been Admirals in charge of battle groups.

Liked the last one a lot but I don’t trust Hollywood. Giving Val a cinematic send off was such a touching move, why go and risk spoiling anything?

Maverick was the best movie I’ve seen in the last two decades. I’m sure Cruise can top it. Wonders if he dies and hands the franchise over to Rooster.
