In July 2018, Miles Teller was cast in the role of Goose's son, against Nicholas Hoult and Glen Powell. All three were flown to Cruise's home for chemistry tests. Later that month, Jennifer Connelly joined the film's cast to play a single mother running a bar near the naval base. In August 2018, Powell joined the cast of the film in a pilot trainee role that was enlarged for him, having impressed Cruise, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, as well as executives at Paramount Pictures and Skydance, with his auditions.[That same month, Monica Barbaro, Thomasin McKenzie, Charles Parnell, Jay Ellis, Bashir Salahuddin, Danny Ramirez, Ed Harris, Jon Hamm and Lewis Pullman joined the cast of the film with Barbaro, Ellis, and Ramirez portraying pilot trainees and McKenzie portraying Connelly's daughter. In September 2018, Manny Jacinto joined the cast of the film. In October 2018, Kara Wang, Jack Schumacher, Greg Tarzan Davis, Jake Picking, Raymond Lee, Jean Louisa Kelly and Lyliana Wray joined the cast of the film. Additionally, McKenzie was forced to drop out of the film after signing onto Lost Girls. In November 2018, Chelsea Harris joined the cast of the film in an undisclosed role. 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.

The Cannes premiere will include a tribute to Cruise and his career. Both Netflix and Apple TV+ reportedly attempted to purchase the distribution rights to the film, but Paramount refused to sell them; Bruckheimer, when asked about them and other streaming services attempting to purchase the distribution rights to the film at the film's premiere at CinemaCon, said that there was no other option and that the film had always been a big-screen destination.

Hangman is an elite TOPGUN graduate selected to return and train as a candidate for a secret mission to destroy a Rogue Nation's uranium enrichment facility before it becomes operational. The day before mission training starts, Hangman gathers with other candidates at a Penny Benjamin's bar. He teases other mission candidates such as LT Natasha "Phoenix" Trace and LT Robert "Bob" Floyd before eventually moving on to CAPT Pete "Maverick" Mitchell when he notices Maverick sitting at the bar. He teases with Maverick, calling him "Pops", before eventually joining in to toss Maverick out of the bar when Maverick's credit card declines and doesn't have enough cash to pay for everyone's drinks. As a parting gesture, Hangman asks Maverick to return to the bar another time to repeat this event as it was fun. During his entire encounter with Maverick at Penny's bar, Hangman is unaware that Maverick is his new instructor. This causes Hangman, and the rest of the mission candidates, a great deal of embarrassment the next day during orientation. During basic fighter maneuver (BFM) training, Hangman was challenged against Maverick to see who could shoot the other down first. Hangman was shot down by Maverick, and as a result, was forced to do two hundred pushups together with Phoenix and Bob (the agreed upon amount set by LT Reuben "Payback" Fitch); the fulfillment of this lost bet was overseen by CWO-4 Bernie "Hondo" Coleman, who stood-in as an impromptu drill instructor. Hangman becomes interested in the mysterious tense relationship between Maverick and LT Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw. Eventually, Hangman by happenstance comes across an old TOPGUN class photo hanging on a wall; of which he noticed that it included Maverick. As he further studies the photo, he smiles as he has now finally figured out that Rooster is the son of Maverick's late best friend and RIO LTJG Nick "Goose" Bradshaw. As the aviators continue to train for the mission, more friction develops between Hangman and Rooster; Rooster resents Hangman's cavalier attitude towards his wingmen, while Hangman criticizes Rooster's caution. This tension comes to a boil during a training debrief. Hangman points out that Maverick knows Rooster better than everyone else here, and how Maverick seems to act protectively towards Rooster rather than honestly criticize Rooster's performance. At the end of the training period, Hangman was not one of the candidates selected to partake in the operation by Maverick. he was disappointed, but encourages Rooster to complete the mission with Maverick, During the mission, he remained on the carrier at standby alert. He is eventually launched to aid Maverick and Rooster, who are being attacked by an enemy Su-57. He successfully shoots down the hostile aircraft, saving their lives. Maverick admired his doing. Back on the carrier, Hangman and Rooster start to see eye-to-eye and shake hands, acknowledging each others' abilities. They celebrate with other mission group members and deck crew..
