Yes! Normally I hate seeing men with dyed hair, but I saw clips of him promoting the movie and he looked good. At some point it will go too far, but whatever he is doing is working, for now. |
| What do we think of the Lady Gaga song? I like it and it makes me more excited to see the movie. But also Tom Cruise / Scientology are trash so I feel conflicted she chose to do the movie. I love Gaga but this surprised me a bit. |
| Nope. I cannot do it. TC and his cult have just gone too far. I stopped watching any Harvey Weinstein productions --although now the company's been sold, maybe old movies are ok. Also won't watch any Woody Allen anything. Just can't separate these horrible men from their work. |
Honestly, I thought he looked pretty darn good in trailer. Less plastic than he had been. |
| Anyone find it interesting that they brought back all of the old men but not Kelly McGillis? I guess they couldn't cast her as Cruise's wife |
I just watched the video of the song this morning. I like it, too. Also loved the all the additional movie clips that aren't in the trailer. So excited to see this movie! |
I would have so loved to see Kelly McGillis as his wife. |
Really, it's good they were able to hire Connelly. I think they were anticipating there would be some push back about the women who were originally in 1 not being in 2 and made sure not to follow the usual Tom Cruise setup where he is with a co star who is at minimum 15 years younger than him. |
I was just googling Kelly McGillis, prompted by this thread. She's five years older than Tom. He's 59, and she's 64. There are a couple of pap shots that are unflattering. Aside from those, she looks her age but is still beautiful. She has that great bone structure and striking blue eyes. |
I would have loved to see her not with Tom but maybe high up in a civilian defense department position. But this would require Hollywood to be creative and write an actual decent role. Hollywood clearly employs some second rate writer who lack imagination. |
| Caught Top Gun on TV tonight, got sucked into it and can’t wait to see TG2! |
He is recovering from a brutal bout of throat cancer and can barely speak intelligibly. I think it’s great he’s coming back but yeah Kelly McGillis should be back too. |

Kelly McGillis hardly acts anymore. She left Hollywood to get sober, raised her kids in FL, divorced her husband, came out as a lesbian and briefly was with a woman, was a hermit for a while and was photographed in NC as gray and very overweight, etc. She has a chronic health condition and lives in Hendersonville, NC where she sometimes teaches acting. She has done a handful of acting gigs in the last decade.
She has suffered tragedy; raped by two men in nyc in the early 80s, divorce, her yacht burned down, and fought off a female burglar in NC. Plus, addiction and a chronic illness. ^^^ This isn’t an actress you go out of your way to cast in Top Gun 2. Plus, I don’t think a mid-60s female civilian would be relevant or believable as a military security expert. Having said that, Cruise isn’t believable as a military pilot either. Waaaaaaay too old. They should have made this movie 20 years ago. |

Zayde Wolf’s take on “Danger Zone” is great!!

I was in high school when Top Gun came out & I remember having the hugest celebrity crush on Tom Cruise. Me along w/the rest of the world! 🫶🏽 However his views on treating depression, etc. have made me detest him so much that I will no longer pay a red cent to see ANY movie 🍿 that he is appearing in. |
