Initial reports indicated that the third film would see Tom Cruise reunite with his Maverick co-stars Miles Teller and Glen Powell, but further news has been pretty sparse ever since.
We spoke to Top Gun producer Jerry Bruckheimer all about Young Woman and the Sea, which also counts him as a producer. That film stars Daisy Ridley as Gertrude “Trudy” Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel.
Our conversation also touched on Top Gun 3, and we asked Bruckheimer how the threequel is coming along – and if he’s had any conversations with Cruise. “We had preliminary stuff,” he reveals. “We’re not there yet. [There’s] ways to go.”
Of course, Top Gun 3 is still very early in development, so it’s not a huge surprise that there isn’t a major update just yet. Still, it’s exciting that the wheels are turning. Hopefully, we’ll be back in the air sooner rather than later…
In the meantime, Cruise is busy with the Mission: Impossible franchise, with Mission: Impossible 8 currently in production.
