She will join the already cast Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, Glen Powell, Jennifer Connelly and Miles Teller in the Joseph Kosinski-helmed film set-up over at Paramount.
Deadline reports the news of the new castings for the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced and Peter Craig, Justin Marks and Eric Warren Singer-scripted movie sequel, coming to screens some 33 years after the debut of the ground-breaking original. The trade says that McKenzie will play the daughter of Connelly’s character in the film, while Ellis will play a pilot, Salahuddin an engineer, Ramirez will mount up also as a pilot, as will Barbaro.
Top Gun: Maverick, which may not be its final title, will fly into cinemas in the summer of 2019.
