Producer Teases Possibilities of 'Top Gun: Maverick' Sequel

Los Angeles, December 11 - One of the biggest success stories of the year, Tom Cruise's Top Gun: Maverick shattered the box office records. Joseph Kosinski's directorial grossed over $1.4 billion at the global box office and become the highest-grossing movie of the year.

"Top Gun 2" is currently the eleventh-highest-grossing film of all time. The sequel also earned an impressive Rotten Tomatoes score with a 96% critics rating and a 99% audience rating, and with such mighty numbers, the talks for its sequel were always going to make the headlines.



Recently, director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer spoke at Deadline's Contenders LA3C panel and addressed the possibility of another Top Gun movie.

"Is there another story that is compelling enough that we need to go back to?" Kosinski was asked and he said, "It seems to me at the end of this film that Maverick has some gas left in the tank. He's not settling down".

Kosinski further said that it will be some task to bring the same star cast to the movie though the makers are sure they will be able to bring Cruise on board. "I knew we'd be able to get Tom on the plane, but we weren't sure about the rest of the cast," Kosinski explained.



"Tom devised this three-month course for all the actors, to start with a very simple airplane and work their way up to the Navy jet. They all were able to do all their scenes in the jets for real, which is just phenomenal because you can't imagine how physically difficult it is to do what they're doing. They're flying with real Top Gun pilots", he said.

"I think a couple of them had a hard time, but they wouldn't let me know. They would actually kind of keep it under wraps just because they wanted to make sure we were getting everything we needed to get", the director added.
