In July 2018, Miles Teller was cast in the role of Goose's son, against Nicholas Hoult and Glen Powell.

According to Kelly McGillis, who appeared in the original film, she was not asked to appear in the sequel. Preliminary production on the film officially started on May 30, 2018, in San Diego, California. During late August a 15-person film crew from Paramount and Bruckheimer Films were aboard the Norfolk-based aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to shoot flight deck operations. In mid-February 2019, Cruise and the production crew were sighted on board USS Theodore Roosevelt at NAS North Island. In March, filming was completed at NAS Whidbey Island in Oak Harbor, Washington.
