Another sequel is set to begin production shortly. A month ago, Paramount announced during its CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas, that ‘Top Gun 3’ is in the works with producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Tom Cruise returning. According to Variety, The sequel to director Joseph Kosinski’s 2022 blockbuster “Top Gun: Maverick” was first revealed to be in the works back in 2024 with scribe Ehren Kruger, who co-wrote “Maverick” with Eric Warren Singer and Christopher McQuarrie.
In 2022, Cruise returned to the Top Gun franchise 36 years after the original was released in theaters. Maverick earned over $1 billion at the global box office and became the highest-grossing movie of Cruise’s career.
Though a release date for the sequel has yet to be announced, a script has reportedly been in the works for over two years.
