The director, Joseph Kosinski said that they just weren’t considering stories that involved the female characters for this film. According to IMDb, the plot of Top Gun: Maverick reads, “After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him.”
