Hollywood Actor Tom Cruise is returning to play Navy pilot Pete \u2018Maverick\u2019 Mitchell once again as Paramount has greenlighted the third installment of Top Gun: Maverick.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 61-year-old action star first played the character in 1986\u2019s Top Gun and returned in 2022 for Top Gun: Maverick, which was a massively successful box office hit grossing $1.496bn worldwide.<\/p>\n

According to an international media outlet, Paramount has now commissioned \u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d co-writer Ehren Kruger to work on a script for a sequel to the action blockbuster.<\/p>\n

The studio is also hoping that director Joseph Kosinski will get back into the cockpit for another installment in the series, which would potentially see Cruise\u2019s younger co-stars Miles Teller and Glen Powell return for more high-altitude excitement.<\/p>\n

The development comes days after Warner Bros. Discovery announced that Tom Cruise had signed a non-exclusive deal to develop franchises and original movies for Warner Bros., the studio where he made \u201cInterview With the Vampire,\u201d \u201cEyes Wide Shut,\u201d \u201cMagnolia\u201d and \u201cEdge of Tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That non-exclusive pact still allows Cruise to work for other companies like Paramount and Universal, where he\u2019s working on a pricey film that will shoot at the International Space Station. It also gives Cruise\u2019s company offices on Warner\u2019s Burbank lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d was a massive overperformer at the box office in 2022, earning $1.5 billion globally and sparking Steven Spielberg to credit Cruise with saving the theatrical business, which had been beleagured by the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

The feature followed decades after Tony Scott\u2019s 1986 Top Gun, which helped cement Cruise as a rising movie star. As well as being a commercial hit, the movie was also nominated for Best Picture at last year\u2019s Oscars.<\/p>\n

Cruise also guides the \u201cMission: Impossible\u201d franchise at Paramount. He\u2019s currently working on the eighth installment in the spy series.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
