2019: Maverick is now President of the United States, and an alien invasion is in progress. He hops into an old forgotten Tomcat at Area 51 and leads one last desperate mission against the alien fleet.
Top Gun sequel is confirmed!

^ I haven't seen Independence Day: Resurgence yet, but, given its underwhelming box office, and writing as someone who genuinely wants to see that Jump Street/Men in Black crossover, I unironically endorse the notion of declaring Top Gun part of ID4 history, and bringing in Maverick to lead the Earth defense forces in an Top Gun 2/Independence Day 3 crossover. 
I bet Tom doesn't want TG2 to involve drones. They'd be better actors.
srsly, I wouldn't be surprised if Goose's son is involved somehow - possibly with a grudge against Maverick and blaming him for Goose's death.

That trailer was all nostalgia. Not too bad but there wasn't much to it.
That trailer reeks of Tom Cruise in a mid-life crisis trying to re-capture his youth by going back to one of his earliest hits.

My thought exactly. If you don't show any signs of professional growth such as accepting a promotion, then they'll boot your ass. Doesn't matter how good you are.
I'm probably the only sailor who never watched the first film and I have no intention of ever watching it. This trailer is full of meh.
If this was a Mission Impossible trailer I would agree.
This movie looks to have the same issue as X-Files and Gilmore Girls, the people making it don't want to actually admit time has passed. Like X-Files and Gilmore Girls revivals have been said to be the original plans for new seasons when the shows went off the air. That doesn't work when so much time has passed. If they made this movie 30 years ago, than fine, but today a 60 year old fighter jet pilot? We use drones. The drone that Iran rightfully shot down was the size of a 737. This movie looks more useless than Die Hard sequels.
And again, there's no way Maverick is still a captain and still serving. Either he was promoted or booted during that long period of time.
Still? He was only a Lieutenant in the original film.
If he's a Captain now, it means he's been promoted three grades...
"Still" after 35-plus years of service. Colonels/navy captains who aren't selected for promotion are automatically retired the first day of the month after they hit 30 years of service, it's federal freaking law.
