Behind the scenes, the reasoning for Carole Bradshaw's offscreen death (played by Meg Ryan in Top Gun (1986)) was fairly simple despite its devastating implications: wanting to focus on new characters more than the legacy ones. "I didn't want every storyline to always be looking backwards," director Joseph Kosinski told Insider. "It was important to introduce some new characters." As a result, Ryan, along with Kelly McGillis (who played Charlotte "Charlie" Blackwood, Maverick's love interest in the original movie), was not asked back for the sequel and only appears very briefly in a bit of archival footage from the first movie. In an interview with CinemaBlend, Kosinski explained his decision further. "[Charlie and Carole were] not in the story that I worked on. Clearly, their spirits hang over the film in certain ways. There is a glimpse, as you guys know, of both of them in the film. But it was important that we wanted to make sure we were telling a new chapter of Maverick's life. We didn't want to be looking back the whole time."
