Tom Cruise in talks for third Top Gun movie
Tom Cruise is already in talks for a third Top Gun movie.
The sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, spectacularly hit $1 billion at the box office worldwide, 36 years after the first installment of the franchise.
It actually took about 30 years to convince Cruise to get involved with the Top Gun sequel.
“We definitely wanted to do another after the first one became such a success,” producer Jerry Bruckheimer told Boss Hunting.
“But it took [director] Joe Kosinski who came up with the story. We flew to Paris where Tom was filming Mission: Impossible at the time, we pitched him the story.
“Joe had a lookbook. He had a poster. And he pitched what you saw. And Tom loved it. That’s how we got it going.
“After that, Tom picked up the phone, called the head of Paramount, and said: ‘I want to make another Top Gun’.”
Miles Teller, who played Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw, the son of Goose - Maverick’s best friend, is also speaking to Cruise about a potential third film.
“I’ve been having some conversations with him [Tom Cruise] about it. We’ll see.
“That would be great, but that’s all up to TC.
“It’s all up to Tom.”
