Nope, Tom is not going to be one of those actors who accepts the aging process with tact or grace.

Love it, but it’s missing something…

I imagine his contract stipulates anti-ageing be applied to every frame he’s in.
I am expecting Donald the Trump to make an appearance, perhaps under a banner calling out “Mission Accomplished”.

When it hits the $1 dollar bin, I’ll go there.

I want to see a mash-up of the first few minutes of this and the trailer for “The Rise of Skywalker” where Rey slices open that jet.

I look forward to see the Mig 32 !
So, has he come out of the closet and is he living with (by now admiral indeed) Iceman ?

Looks very pretty. Are they going to tell us that Tom Cruise learned to do his own fighter piloting for the stunts like the claimed about his helicopter piloting for Mission: Impossible - Fallout?
Looks great to me!

nope. sorry, this made me puke…twice, actually; first the military glorification and then cruise grining on the motcycle, that just too much to handle in 2 minutes.
fucking shame to see ed harris in such a shitfest.

I suspect that this trailer is a complete misdirect from what the plot of the movie really will be. I read some time ago that the sequel will follow Goose’s son, played by Miles Teller.
Who wouldn’t enjoy a 60 yo pilot actor in a 50 yo aircraft?
But if they were going for realism, he’d be sitting in a trailer in the desert, flying drones half a world away. We still MAKE fighter jets, but only because military contractors are paid through eternity. We rarely use them any more.
For SUPER realism, an 18 yo kid would be flying the drones, having been raised on video games, while a long-retired Maverick sits at the local VA waiting for an appointment for the third consecutive day, rotting from all his STDs.

I was in a small town the the rural area of my state recently, and the local cinema was playing American Sniper and Top Gun. I wanted to believe it was some kind of ironic festival of American weapon porn, but it looks like that is just what was playing in the only cinema in town.
I’m sure I’m my own caricature with my city job and my city car and my yippy little city dog touring the countryside.
Oh, well, at least they’ll have something new to play.
