The Top Gun influences carried over to the final film, of course, with its competitive pilot characters. The film also renamed Carol's cat Goose after a character from the 1986 film, though the feline went by Chewie in the comics.

While Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone nor Berlin's Take My Breath Away appeared in Captain Marvel, neither track would be out of place and could hopefully show up as Carol blasts off in a potential sequel.
