Summary
IfTop Gun 3happens , it already has the perfect account that wo n’t undothe finish ofTop Gun : Maverick , and it ’s a account that was tease in the first moving-picture show . In 1986 , Tony Scott’sTop Gunbecame the highest - grossing movie of the yr , despite an initially miscellaneous reception by critics . Top Gunis involve as one of the secure flick of the 1980s , and 36 years after its release , it finally got a sequel . Top Gun : Maverickreunited looker withPete “ Maverick ” Mitchell ( Tom Cruise)and Tom “ Iceman ” Kazansky ( Val Kilmer ) , and introduced a new generation of highly skilled archetype .
Top Gun : Mavericksaw Pete mentor a new group of pilots as they ready to go on a grievous delegacy from which they might not follow back animated . Maverickintroduced Goose ’s boy , Bradley “ Rooster ” Bradshaw ( Miles Teller ) , whom Maverick felt responsible for after Goose ’s last and make a hope to Rooster ’s mother before she died . The success ofTop Gun : Maverickhas made way for speculation about a third movie , and its best story is one that was badger in the first movie .
Top Gun : Maverickwas a commercial-grade and vital success , so it ’s not surprising that spill the beans about a potential third pic immediately began . AsTop Gun : Maverickintroduced a new generation of pilots , most notably Jake “ Hangman ” Seresin ( Glen Powell ) , a sequel is expected to focus on some of the new pilot in addition to continuing Rooster ’s story , with or without Maverick . However , the best option forTop Gun 3is to be a prequel rather than a sequel , and to be focused on Maverick ’s father , Duke Mitchell .
InTop Gun , Pete ’s late Father-God is mentioned a couple of times , specially after Maverick arrives at the title schoolhouse and meets principal teacher Commander Mike “ Viper ” Metcalf ( Tom Skerritt ) . Viper mentions that he used to vaporize with Maverick ’s father , and it ’s bring out that Duke and Viper flew together in the Vietnam War aviation fight where Duke was killed . According to Viper , Duke ’s carpenter’s plane was shoot down , but Viper witnessed Duke ’s larger-than-life action mechanism in his final moments , but no more was discover about him ( aside from having a thing for flying dangerously , very much like Maverick does ) .
Top Gun 3 , then , could be a prequel exploring Duke and Viper ’s young years and time flying together at the war , and it could still follow the model of the other twoTop Gunmovies by break Viper mat up responsible for for Maverick the same style Maverick felt for Rooster .
Top Gun 3 Shouldn’t Undo Maverick’s Perfect Ending
Top Gun : Maverickleft the door heart-to-heart for more flick , but at the same time , it already gave its master character a everlasting ending . Maverick was able-bodied to make peace with the past and prepare his human relationship with Rooster , and he continued his relationship with Penny Benjamin ( Jennifer Connelly ) . With the intromission of Rooster , Hangman , and other pilots , Top Gun : Maverickmakes it possible for a continuation to focus on this new generation of pilots , even if Maverick does n’t come back to keep training them .
The problem with a new picture is thatTop Gun 3shouldn’t undo Maverick ’s gross ending and have him repeat the same story , so if not a prequel telling the story of Duke Mitchell , the nextTop Gunmovie can make Rooster and/or Hangman the main character(s ) and explore other characters as well , such as Phoenix and Fanboy .
