Top Gun 2 better have twice as much homoerotic subtext, or I'm gonna want my money back.

Back in 2014, Jerry Bruckheimer the producer for the original Top Gun gave us an idea of the plot, “The concept is, basically, are the pilots obsolete because of drones. Cruise is going to show them that they’re not obsolete, that pilots are here to stay.”
Then in June of 2015 there were hints of the actual plot:
“When you look at the world of dogfighting, what’s interesting about it is that it’s not a world that exists to the same degree when the original movie came out. This world has not been explored. It is very much a world we live in today where it’s drone technology and fifth generation fighters are really what the United States Navy is calling the last man-made fighter that we’re actually going to produce so it’s really exploring the end of an era of dogfighting and fighter pilots and what that culture is today are all fun things that we’re gonna get to dive into in this movie.”
Call Kenny Loggins, cause you’re in the danger zone.
