I think in the interest of inclusion, McGillis should play Maverick and Cruise should play Charlotte Blackwood. Honestly, would it be a stretch for either actor??

And what is a "yute"?

reply

I wonder if that is why Meg Ryan isn't in it. I feel a little bad for her.

reply

No storyline there other than a one-scene cameo.

Have you seen Kelly Mcgillis recently. She looks like she could play Cruise's much older mother these days.

reply


Well, *father*, but yeah..

Good Lord! thanks God they casted Jennifer Connelly as the female lead

It would be really funny if she was casted to play Jennifer Connelly's mother.

reply

Just so you'll know, the correct past tense form of "cast" is just "cast", not "casted"

didn't study enough english in my non english speaking country in school , the poster above made the same mistake

reply

Yes, both of you were incorrect. Otherwise I applaud you for your mastery of our tongue.

Perhaps if there's a widescreen release.

Why would she be in this movie? She was "trophy girl" in first movie. Did anyone think they would marry after movie ended and have 3 kids and live happy ever after? They would broke up in a year.

There is literally no reason for her to be in this movie. What would her role be? Some ex-girlfriend from 20 years ago show up to give some guidance advice to Maverick? They brought Val Kilmer for that.

Would she be his wife and 20 years old children would ran around when maverick would come home?

Maverick being old sad lonely person is actually what really could have happened to him. He was hot head in his youth. Lived his life but didnt settled.

What would her role be?

I'd like to have seen Maverick take her for a ride on his motorbike - She could have got on behind him, and wrapped her arms around him as he drove off. That would have been something to see...

If McGillis didn't look like Maverick's grandfather, they would have brought her back for a cameo at least.
