The news is from January: “Top Gun 3” will move forward… but knowing now when the main star is available to take off could be worthy of the plot of a “Mission Impossible”.
It took 36 years for “Top Gun: Maverick” (2022), the sequel to “Top Gun: Good Will Hunting” (1986), and now Tom Cruise’s schedule makes it impossible to predict when the third film might see the light of day. day, said producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
When recently asked by ScreenRant whether the new protagonist could be Glen Powell, who recently had great success with the romantic comedy “Everyone But You”, the legendary producer updated the news.
“It will be Tom Cruise. Tom is incredible. We spent time with him. We have a history. [O realizador] Joe [Joseph] Kosinski had a wonderful idea for the story and [Tom] I said, ‘I really like this,'” he said.
“So we are developing it. But we never know when it will be done because Tom is very busy. He is now doing the [oitavo] ‘Mission: Impossible’, there’s a movie next. With luck, we’ll get a script he’ll love and we’ll be back on top again,” he summed up.
According to the American press, the studio’s expectation is that Joseph Kosinski will return as director and join the new “indomitable aces” Miles Teller and Glen Powell, among others.
With more than $1.5 billion in box office revenue worldwide after its release in May 2022, “Top Gun: Maverick” is the most popular film in Cruise’s more than 40-year career, winning an Oscar and received five more nominations, including Best Film.
