It's official. Paramount has revealed during its Las Vegas CinemaCon presentation, that Tom Cruise will once again return as Peter "Maverick" Mitchell in "Top Gun 3". Producer Jerry Bruckheimer is also on board. The project was first revealed to be in the works in 2024. "Top Gun: Maverick" co-writer Ehren Kruger penned the script alongside Eric Warren Singer and Christopher McQuarrie.
The first "Top Gun" was directed by Tony Scott, and it was a huge hit when it was released in 1986, grossing $357.2 million worldwide against a $15 million budget. It took 36 years for a sequel to get made, under the direction of Joseph Kosinski ("F1"), but it proved to be an even bigger hit, raking in $1.5 billion during the COVID pandemic against a much larger $177 million budget. The second installment also starred Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Lewis Pullman, Monica Barbaro and Glen Powell, and marked the final film role for original "Top Gun" actor Val Kilmer, who played Tom "Iceman" Kazansky. Kilmer later died in 2025.
Last year, Cruise also spoke about the project: "We're thinking and talking about many different stories and what could we do and what's possible. It took me 35 years to figure out Top Gun: Maverick. So, all of these things we're working on, we're discussing Days of Thunder and Top Gun: Maverick".
Paramount currently has an impressive slate of upcoming movies, including "Scary Movie 7", Taylor Sheridan's "Call of Duty" movie, a new Damien Chazelle film starring Cillian Murphy, and a new horror film set in the "Longlegs", with Nicholas Cage reprising the iconic role of the titular Satanic serial killer.
