Kelly McGillis didn't return for Top Gun: Maverick, and many wondered why Charlie wasn't in Top Gun 2 when she was Maverick's love interest in the first movie. Charlie was hesitant to start a romance with Maverick, but attraction between them was just too strong. Despite their mutual admiration, Goose's tragic death and Charlie's job caused their brief split, but Top Gun's ending ultimately saw them getting back together, hinting at a long-term future. This is why there being no Kelly McGillis Top Gun: Maverick appearance, and Mitchell with a new love interest in Penny Benjamin (Jennifer Connelly), raised eyebrows.

Top Gun: Maverick picks up Maverick's story years after the original. The movie has Maverick forced to confront aspects of his past with the arrival of Rooster (Miles Teller), the son of his former co-pilot Goose (Anthony Edwards). In fact, even his new love interest Penny was mentioned in the original Top Gun.
