1 Achievement Top Gun 3 Needs To Repeat To Match The First Two Movies

To maintain the high quality of the franchise and match the legacy created by the first two movies, Top Gun 3 must repeat one achievement. Although Top Gun 2 features many legacy characters from the first movie and intertwines its narratives with that of the first Top Gun, it is significantly different from its predecessor. For instance, Top Gun 2 features Tom Cruise’s Pete “Maverick” Mitchell as a guiding figure for TOPGUN’s students, which narratively makes sense considering the franchise’s timeline. Apart from changing Maverick’s role, Top Gun 2 also introduces a new love interest for him and allows other new-generation pilots to take center stage.
