I feel like this movie would only work if Cruise takes a backseat

EDIT: thought this was saying he’s returning but it’s not confirmed

“Obviously, it’d be amazing to be able to do a third film in this beautiful story. But, as we learned with the second one, it’s got to be absolutely right,” Ramirez said, noting the 30-year gap between the original “Top Gun” and “Maverick.”

I don’t know about this. Maverick was phenomenal. What it did for cinema and moviegoers is going to be difficult to replicate.

They made a top three legacy sequel. I’m skeptical, but it’s hard not to be excited given how great Top Gun: Maverick was.

Maybe the best movie ever
