Tom Cruise is a busy man, which makes it impossible to put a timeline on when “Top Gun” fans might finally get to see the third installment of the beloved action-drama series. diverse Paramount confirmed in January that Paramount was developing Top Gun 3 and had hired Top Gun: Maverick co-writer Ehren Kruger to work on the script. Franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer now tells ScreenRant that he has no idea when Cruise might have free time in his schedule to film the third “Top Gun” movie.
“It will be Tom Cruise (leading the cast),” Bruckheimer said. “Tom is amazing. We spent time with him. We have a story. Joe Kosinski had a great story idea for it, and he (Tom) said, ‘I really like that,’ so we’re developing it. But you never know when it’s going to get done because Tom is so busy.” He’s doing Mission: Impossible now, and he has a picture after it. Hopefully we’ll get a script he likes, and we’ll be back on the air again.
Cruise is currently filming Mission: Impossible 8, which will serve as a sequel to last year’s film Dead Reckoning. Paramount is also behind this franchise. The studio hopes that a “Top Gun: Maverick” movie will be made. Director Joseph Kosinski will return to direct the upcoming “Top Gun” film. Bruckheimer has now confirmed that Kosinski has come up with the story idea for the upcoming sequel. “Top Gun” newcomers Glen Powell, Miles Teller and more are likely to return.
“People looked at me like I knew what was going on,” Powell said. diverse at Sundance earlier this year about the upcoming film “Top Gun.” “There will be some fun things announced soon… but it’s been a secret for me. I talk to (Joseph) Kosinski, Cruz and Jerry (Bruckheimer) all the time. There are things happening and it sounds very exciting. I don’t know when I’ll be back… I’m sure… That there is a plane waiting for me sometime in the future.
The movie “Top Gun: Maverick” was a huge success for Paramount, which has tried for decades to find a way to return Cruise to the world of aviation.
