Tom Cruise is hoping to make a sequel to another of his classic action movies, 34 years after it was released.
The film, Days of Thunder, was released in 1990 and is about NASCAR racing. Cruise played Cole Trickle, a race car driver seeking to establish himself in NASCAR. The rest of the cast includes Nicole Kidman, Randy Quaid, Robert Duvall, Michael Rooker, John C. Reilly, and Cary Elwes.
According toThe Hollywood Reporter, Cruise “believes he can work similar magic” to the follow-up to Top Gun, Top Gun: Maverick, which debuted to rave reviews and grossed over $1 billion at the box office.
“We had preliminary stuff,” Top Gun producerJerry Bruckheimer recently told usof the Top Gun threequel. “We’re not there yet. [There’s] ways to go.”
Top Gun 3 would see Cruise return as Maverick, with Miles Teller and Glen Powell also returning, along with director Joseph Kosinski.
“I mean, I have a date,“Powell recently teased of the threequel, though he refused to reveal anything else. Per THR, Cruise and Paramount think of Top Gun 3 as a “top priority,” so hopefully we’ll be seeing it sooner rather than later.
