Paramount Gives Green Light for Top Gun 3 - Confirmation
Top Gun 3 gets the green light at Paramount as director Joe Kosinski and writer Ehren Kruger team up for an exhilarating new installment of the iconic franchise
Top Gun 3 is reportedly in development at Paramount, with the sequel to Top Gun: Maverick said to have been in the works since late fall. Sources indicate that Maverick director Joe Kosinski is set to return to helm the project, with co-writer Ehren Kruger working on the screenplay. Paramount hopes to bring back Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, and Glen Powell for the film, although Cruise recently signed a non-exclusive deal with Warner Bros. according to Variety.
Teller revealed in July 2022 that he had discussed Top Gun 3 with Cruise, but ultimately the decision was in Cruise's hands. Teller played Goose's son Lt. Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw in Maverick, while Powell portrayed Lieutenant Jake "Hangman" Seresin. Powell is also attached to Twisters, another major sequel. Kosinski had mentioned last year that Cruise initially didn't want to make a Top Gun sequel, especially after the original director's death, but Maverick ended up being Cruise's first film to reach $1 billion worldwide.

As a devoted fan of the Top Gun franchise, I am thrilled to hear the news that Paramount has given the green light for Top Gun 3. The sequel to Top Gun: Maverick, which was a massive critical and commercial success, has been highly anticipated by fans around the world. The return of director Joe Kosinski and writer Ehren Kruger, who were responsible for the success of Maverick, is a promising sign that Top Gun 3 will continue the high standard set by its predecessor.
The potential return of Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, and Glen Powell, who played iconic roles in Maverick, adds to the excitement surrounding Top Gun 3. Cruise's portrayal of Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is synonymous with the franchise, and his charisma and acting prowess have made him a beloved figure among fans. Teller and Powell brought depth and energy to their respective roles, and their chemistry with Cruise was one of the highlights of Maverick.
