Ehren Kruger, co-writer of Top Gun: Maverick, is crafting a script for a potential
new installment, with director Joe Kosinski also slated to return. Sources indicate
the aim is to bring together Tom Cruise with his next-gen co-stars Miles Teller 
and Glen Powell.

This news follows shortly after Warner Bros. Discovery’s announcement of Cruise’s
deal to star in and produce films for Warners, although the agreement is nonexclusive.
Despite Cruise’s recent films primarily being with Paramount without an official
deal, the Top Gun sequel has been quietly in development since late fall.

Top Gun: Maverick proved to be a box office sensation in 2022, raking in $1.5 billion
globally. Steven Spielberg credited Cruise with revitalizing the theatrical business,
which had suffered due to the pandemic. The sequel, coming decades after Tony Scott’s
1986 Top Gun, played a pivotal role in establishing Cruise as a burgeoning movie
star.

While the new Top Gun 3 movie isn’t expected in the near future, as Cruise is currently
immersed in the eighth Mission: Impossible installment set for release in May 2025,
this development underscores Cruise’s enduring star power. Studios are poised to
vie for his time and attention in the years to come, affirming his status as an 
in-demand actor.
