Whoo hooo!!! I get a whole wambulace to myself for such a small statement of opinion. score!!! 
Nothing wrong with the f18, just much prefer the f14 (aesthetics mostly); and since movies are almost a purely visual experience I would rather see a tomcat zipping around the screen instead of a hornet.
Have you even seen the Super Hornet actually zip around yet? Not saying a newer Tomcat would of been less impressive - but you're saying you would turn down letting Jessica Parker sit on your face because you can't have Jessica Alba... WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU MAN!
And on that note, ignore that I'm partial to Jessica Parker myself (and that I also got to play with a 4-month new 70-million dollar F-varient of her this past Sunday before getting to help tug and taxi her 40,000 pound arse off our tarmac, and lighting her up at sunset before sending her home.
those new fighter engines make this sureal groan (almost a super-fart, lol) when they come to life after sitting cold for a while that can be heard for miles. And in low-light like at sunset, they afterburn white-hot and 50-ft long
)
It's Hollywood, so you know they'll use the F-35... 
As long as there's a sufficiently oily and slo-mo beach volleyball scene, it should be alright. I'll watch just to see the triumphant return of Val Kilmer as Iceman, possibly renamed 'Ice-cream Man'.
Wiley.
It's sad, but you're probabley right, I can only dream they make a Top Gun with F-18s
