Fasten your seat belts. Another “Top Gun” movie is in the works.
Josh Greenstein, co-president of Paramount Pictures, confirmed Thursday morning that a sequel to “Top Gun: Maverick” is in development, a film that will reunite actor Tom Cruise with Jerry Bruckheimer. The announcement was made during Paramount's presentation at CinemaCon, the exhibition industry's annual trade convention in Las Vegas.
“Top Gun” first hit theaters in 1986. The long-awaited sequel, “Top Gun: Maverick,” was released in June 2022 and quickly rose to the top of the box office.
In August, shortly after the merger of Paramount Global and Skydance Media, David Ellison, CEO of the new Paramount Skydance, told reporters that he planned to develop popular franchises, including “Top Gun,” “Star Trek” and “Yellowstone.” Ellison specifically praised Cruise during the event.
