Sources said that the movie “Top Gun 3” is in the development stage. This is a project that follows “Top Gun 2” in 2022 and the first “Top Gun” from 1986. 61-year-old action star Tom Cruise first played the character Maverick in “Top Gun” in 1986 and returned in 2022 with “Top Gun: Maverick”.

Tom Cruise will return as Maverick in “Top Gun 3”.

“Top Gun 2” was a huge success at the box office with revenue of 1.496 billion USD worldwide. In addition to being a commercial success, “Top Gun 2” also earned six Oscar nominations last year, including best picture and best adapted screenplay. The film eventually won an Oscar for sound.

Revealing the new project, the source said that Tom Cruise, Jerry Bruckheimer and director Joseph Kosinski will collaborate and come up with ideas. Although the script has not been completed, the first draft is being developed by screenwriter Ehren Kruger, who co-wrote “Top Gun: Maverick”. In the new part, in addition to Cruise, stars Miles Teller and Glen Powell may also return to play this part.

While it’s no surprise that Paramount wanted to repeat the success of “Top Gun: Maverick,” the news did surprise many in Hollywood as Tom Cruise recently signed a new contract with the studio for Player Warner Bros. However, some sources revealed that Tom Cruise will develop and act in films for Warner Bros, but the contract is not exclusive so this male star can continue to work on the “Top Gun 3” project at Paramount.
