At the same time, Jennifer Connelly was cast as a single mother running a bar, probably as the love interest of Cruise. John Hamm, Monica Barbaro, Thomasin McKenzie, Charles Parnell, Jay Ellis, Danny Ramirez, Ed Harris, and Lewis Pullman have also joined the cast of Top Gun: Maverick.
Story of the Sequel
There is not much information revealed about the plot of the Top Gun sequel movie, but there is a vague summary.
