Tom Cruise Set to Return for ‘Top Gun 3’
Tom Cruise is gearing up to take to the skies once again with the development of Top Gun 3. According to a source close to the project, the third installment of the iconic franchise is in the works with Paramount Pictures.
Exciting New Developments
The upcoming film is currently in the development phase, following the success of Top Gun: Maverick in 2022 and the original Top Gun, released in 1986. CNN reports that the plan includes reuniting key producers of the series, including Tom Cruise, Jerry Bruckheimer, and director Joseph Kosinski. This new installment will serve as a direct sequel to Top Gun: Maverick, which captivated audiences worldwide.
In addition to Cruise, stars Miles Teller and Glen Powell are also expected to reprise their roles in this highly anticipated follow-up.
While the script for Top Gun 3 is still in its early stages, the first draft is being written by Ehren Kruger, the co-writer of Top Gun: Maverick. This collaboration promises to uphold the high standards set by its predecessors.
Currently, Paramount Pictures has declined to comment on the project, and Tom Cruise’s representatives have yet to respond to CNN’s request for further information. However, the announcement of a sequel comes as no surprise given the massive success of Top Gun: Maverick.
Record-Breaking Success of Top Gun: Maverick
Top Gun: Maverick became the highest-grossing film of Tom Cruise’s career, earning nearly $1.5 billion globally. The film received six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay, ultimately winning the Oscar for Best Sound. Its remarkable box office performance has solidified the franchise’s place in cinematic history.
Tom Cruise’s New Projects

Discovery to develop and produce theatrical films. Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of CNN, continues to connect the dots in this exciting new chapter for the actor.
As Tom Cruise prepares for Top Gun 3, fans are eagerly awaiting to see how the story of Pete “Maverick” Mitchell will continue. With a strong production and writing team, along with a proven track record of success, this sequel has the potential to become another box office hit. Stay tuned for more updates as Top Gun 3 takes flight, promising thrilling aerial action and the emotional depth that audiences love.
