Imminent takeoff for Top Gun 3: the project is launched

Paramount studio has just hired a screenwriter to write the sequel.

This is the film that saved Hollywood. In the midst of the pandemic, Top Gun: Maverick brought in $1.5 billion in worldwide revenue, breathed new life into theaters and proved to investors that cinema was not dead. Just that.

So obviously, since the summer of 2022, everyone has been waiting for what comes next. And a half and a half later, she arrives. Top Gun 3 is officially in the works, Variety announced today. The studio has just hired Ehren Krugerco-writer of Top Gun: Maverick, to launch the mission and work on a scenario. The studio also hopes to bring back the director Joseph Kosinski.

We imagine that Tom Cruise will return to the cockpit, which should also bring back Miles Tiller And Glen Powellaccording to Variety.

The news comes as Tom Cruise announced that he had signed a non-exclusive agreement to develop franchises and original films with Warner Bros., the studio with which he had made some of his best films, such as Interview with a Vampire, Eyes Wide Shut Or Magnolia. A deal that leaves the door open to Tom Cruise to work for other companies, but which certainly put a lot of pressure on Paramount. Hence the start of construction of Top Gun 3 made official today.

let’s remember that Tom Cruise also works with the Universal studio for its historic film project in Space and the International Space Station.
