In the upcoming sequel, Cruise reprises his role as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, who is now a flight instructor. He is unwilling to accept any rank above Captain, even after thirty years of service, combat medals and recognition from the government. "Yet you can't get a promotion, you won't retire and despite your best efforts, you refuse to die," says his senior (played by Ed Harris).
