Who nearly played Penny's daughter in Top Gun 2?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The character of Penny’s daughter, Amelia, in Top Gun: Maverick wasn’t a particularly important one, but the role almost went to a completely different actress before being recast. Taking place several decades after the original movie, Top Gun: Maverick employed a whole new cast of characters — and actors to play them — alongside Tom Cruise’s titular protagonist, with Penny serving as his new love interest.
The role in Top Gun: Maverick isn’t huge, but Amelia’s importance to Maverick and Penny’s story could prove to be much more vital in the future if Top Gun 3 happens. Her father doesn’t seem to be in the picture anymore — though one theory suggests Penny’s ex-husband is an established Top Gun character — but Amelia's dynamic with Maverick seems to be leading toward some kind of father figure role.
Why Thomasin McKenzie Quitting Top Gun 2 Made Sense Although it might seem like a poor decision in hindsight to quit one of the highest-grossing movies ever, the decision actually served a larger purpose for Thomasin McKenzie’s career as a whole. After projects such as Jojo Rabbit and Last Night in Soho, the actress was quickly becoming a rising star with plenty of fame and influence.
McKenzie’s career has been moving in exciting directions ever since her breakthrough appearance in The King, and the character of Amelia simply would’ve been a step down for her. The role ultimately went to Lyliana Wray, and she was undeniably a better fit for the character.
