The internet has already got the plot for 'Top Gun 2' all figured out
Top Gun doesn't strike as a film that needs a sequel, but you're getting one anyway.
Tom Cruise confirmed he's filming Top Gun 2 within the "next year". He made the announcement on the Australian TV show Sunrise — a rather unexpected place to calmly reveal such news.

"I'm going to start filming it probably in the next year. I know. It's happening. It is definitely happening," Cruise told the program. "You're the first people that I've said this to."
While there have been murmurs of a sequel to the 1986 film for 30 years, the death of Top Gun's director Tony Scott stalled those plans.
With scant detail on the film, aside from the fact that "it's happening," it was left to the internet to figure out the plot. Will Val Kilmer somehow return as Iceman? Is Kenny Loggins going to collaborate with say, The Chainsmokers, for a rehash of the theme song?
Who knows, but everyone thinks there's going to be a helluva lot of drone action and modern, but ultimately unreliable fighter jets. And hopefully a revisit of that volleyball scene.
Top Gun 2 is going to be 180 minutes of Tom Cruise sitting on a runway while his F-35A's code debugs until a $1000 drone explodes on him.

@nktpnd Top Gun 2 mainly just takes place in the Pentagon trying to figure out why the F-35 is so behind schedule

Top Gun 2 is about Maverick returning to the Navy because he's the only one who can get an old version of powerpoint to work.

Top Gun 2 better have twice as much homoerotic subtext, or I'm gonna want my money back.
