Buckle your seat belts. Another Top Gun movie is in the works.
Josh Greenstein, co-chair 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 theatres in 1986. The long-awaited sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, came out in June 2022 and quickly cruised to box office heights.
In August, shortly after the merger of Paramount Global and Skydance Media, David Ellison, chief executive of the new Paramount Skydance, told reporters that he planned to build on popular franchises, including Top Gun, Star Trek and Yellowstone.
