Los Angeles, CA – Just when we thought Tom Cruise had reached new heights with ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, Paramount says, “Hold my aviator glasses.” They’re in the cockpit again, folks, plotting a course for ‘Top Gun 3’. That’s right, Maverick might be taking to the skies once more, and we’re here for it.
In an exciting twist that’s got Hollywood buzzing, Ehren Kruger, the pen behind ‘Maverick’, is reportedly crafting the script for this new chapter. And guess who might be back in the director’s chair? Joe Kosinski, the guy who made ‘Maverick’ fly off the charts. This scoop was first snagged by Puck News, and they’re saying the plan is to get Cruise back with the new hotshots, Miles Teller and Glen Powell.
Now, let’s talk about that elephant in the room – Tom’s recent deal with Warner Bros. It’s big, it’s bold, but hey, it’s not exclusive. He’s been a Paramount guy for a long time, especially with his ‘Mission: Impossible’ escapades. But this Warner Bros. deal? It’s like watching your ex flirt at a party – you know there’s history, but the future’s still up for grabs.
‘Maverick’ wasn’t just a movie; it was a box office beast. We’re talking $1.5 billion worldwide, folks. Even Spielberg tipped his hat to Cruise, saying he pretty much-rescued movie theaters single-handedly. Remember the original ‘Top Gun’ back in ’86? That’s where it all began for Cruise, and ‘Maverick’ just sealed the deal on his legend status.
But hold your jets before you start queuing for ‘Top Gun 3’ tickets. Tom’s playing hard to get, wrapped up in his eighth ‘Mission: Impossible’ movie set for a 2025 release. And let’s not forget, ‘Maverick’ wasn’t made overnight. It took some serious crafting.
While Paramount’s keeping mum on ‘Top Gun 3’, the buzz is as loud as a fighter jet’s afterburner. Is Tom going to grace us with another Maverick masterclass? Only time will tell, but one thing’s clear: in Hollywood’s skies, Cruise is still the top gun.
