Work on “Top Gun 3” was officially confirmed in January 2024. Tom Cruise, Miles Teller and Glen Powell are to return, and Joe Kosinski can stand behind the camera again. The project is developing in Paramount, although Cruise has recently signed a contract with Warner Bros.
Jay Ellis, who in “Top Gun: Maverick” played the lieutenant Reuben “Paybacka” Fitch, shared a fresh update about the film. In an interview with “US Weekly” he jokingly suggested: “Here’s what the story will be. It will be Payback. No, no …”. After a while he added more seriously: “To be honest, they are still working on the script. They are still working on history. They want it to be good.”
Tom Cruise, who is to appear again on the screen as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, is a man who does not go to shortcuts. Ellis emphasized that Cruise wants viewers to receive a spectacle worth every zloty. Ehren Kruger, co -author of “Top Gun: Maverick”, is responsible for the script again. Ellis assures that the creative team does not make a movie just to make it, but because the story and characters are worth it.
“Top Gun: Maverick” is the biggest box office hit in Cruise’s career – $ 1.49 billion speaks for itself. The film won the Oscar for the best sound and was nominated for six statuettes, including the best movie. Will “Top Gun 3” be able to rise even higher?
