Exciting news for fans of the iconic 1986 film!

Yes, Tom Cruise did confirm that a sequel to Top Gun is in the works. In an interview with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2018, Cruise revealed that he had been talking to the original film's director, Tony Scott, about a potential sequel before Scott's passing in 2012. Cruise also mentioned that he had been discussing the project with Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of the original film.

In 2019, Paramount Pictures officially announced that a sequel, titled Top Gun: Maverick, was in production, with Tom Cruise reprising his role as Maverick. The film is directed by Joseph Kosinski, who previously worked with Cruise on the 2013 film Oblivion.

Top Gun: Maverick is scheduled for release on July 2, 2022. The film's plot is still under wraps, but it's rumored to follow Maverick as he trains a new generation of pilots, including the son of his former Radar Intercept Officer, Goose.

The original Top Gun was a massive hit, grossing over $356 million worldwide and cementing Tom Cruise's status as a Hollywood superstar. The sequel is expected to be just as action-packed and thrilling, with Cruise reportedly performing many of his own stunts.
