It is a worldwide hit, and at the same time, the starringtom cruiseIt is also a series that represents the career of “top gun” (1986) “top gun maverick(2022), a new sequel is currently in preparation, which will be the third installment in the series.Let's look back at the history so far.

Requests for a sequel have been circulating since the time “Top Gun: Maverick'' was released as a huge hit, but it was not officially announced until January 2024 that it would be produced by Paramount Pictures in the US.It was reported that Tom, who plays Maverick, will continue to play the role, and that Miles Teller, who plays Rooster, and Glen Powell, who plays Hangman, are also expected to appear, and that the production team of “Top Gun Maverick'' (2022) will reunite.

On the other hand, “Maverick”Director Joseph Kosinski said that as of the end of January 2024, he was not involved in the project and was not even in the development stage. Since it took 36 years to make the first and second movies, he is cautious about making the third movie, saying, “It might take another 36 years.''

In addition, important people in the production team, producersJerry Bruckheimer confirmed in March 2024 that he already had an idea for a third movie and that Tom liked the idea. Although he prefaced this by saying, “We don't know when it will be made,'' he hinted that those involved were feeling positive.

About three months later, Bruckheimer“I haven't reached my goal yet. Looks like it will take some time'', noting that no major progress has been made. However, as of June 2024, both Bruckheimer and Kosinski are in the car racing movie starring Brad Pitt.“F1 (original title)”Since it was in the middle of production, it may not have been the right time to focus on other projects.

Let's take a look at the cast's reactions. Jon Hamm, who played Vice Admiral Beau “Cyclone” Simpson in “Maverick,” will be released in May 2024.Although there have been “no formal discussions”, they welcome a repeat performance.He has expressed his intention to do so. Considering Tom, Bruckheimer, and Kosinski's work, I think it will take a considerable amount of time for that to happen, but the comment that they “definitely want to return'' is very encouraging.

Glen Powell, who plays Hangman, also said, “We already have a date set for July 2024,'' and “It will take time, but it will definitely move forward eventually.'' With his big break in “Maverick,'' Powell quickly became a top star, and is currently lined up with films such as the remake of “Battle Runners'' (1987) and the medical trial film “Monsanto.'' ” It can be seen that the third work is a high priority project.

Louis Pullman to play Captain Robert “Bob” Floyd in October 2024“All I know is the Glen Powell story,'' he commented modestly. “I think it's all up to Tom,” he added, suggesting that his knowledge was very limited.

The reason there hasn't been much activity in the 10 months since the initial report was probably due to Tom's busy schedule. Tom, one of Hollywood's most star actors in both name and reality, is the latest in a series that also represents his career.“Mission: Impossible 8 (tentative title)”Just finished filming. From there, I quicklyFilming will soon begin on a new film (title not yet determined) directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. He is also planning a movie to be shot in space with director Doug Liman, and plans for a sequel to the 1990 racing film “Days of Thunder'' have just surfaced.

with tomAs far as Paramount Pictures is concerned, the “Top Gun'' sequel will be prioritized over the “Days of Thunder'' sequel, but considering Tom's busy schedule, which has now been revealed, “Top Gun'' will be given priority. There is no doubt that the road to the third installment is long. I hope it doesn't take 36 years again next time…?
