‘Top Gun 3’ In The Works At Paramount Following Tom Cruise Warner Bros Pact

Even though Tom Cruise inked a non-exclusive pact at Warner Bros earlier this week, it looks like he’ll continue to be busy with Paramount for some time. Reports tonight are that Top Gun 3 is in development at Paramount with Top Gun:Maverick co-writer Ehren Kruger currently writing a draft.

The word is that the project would reunite Cruise with Maverick‘s Miles Teller and Glen Powell as well as producers Jerry Bruckheimer and David Ellison. Joe Kosinski, will reportedly either direct or produce.

Cruise is currently shooting Mission: Impossible 8 for Paramount. Also brewing over at Universal is the actor’s outer space movie with Nasa, and Doug Liman directing.

Puck had the news about Top Gun 3 tonight, and they’re speculating that it could be the 3x Oscar nominee’s potential next project after Mission: Impossible 8. Even without Top Gun 3, it will be a challenge for Cruise to get anything off the ground at Warners for a couple of years.

Top Gun: Maverick is the highest grossing movie of Cruise’s career at $1.49 billion. It won one Oscar last year for Best Sound and was nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture.

What’s really glaring in tonight’s news is that Ellison’s Skydance, which is circling to scoop up National Amusements in an all-cash bid, was a producer on Top Gun: Maverick. The Shari Redstone-led exhibitor controls nearly 80% of Paramount shares and is the gatekeeper for any M&A deal.

Deadline reached out to Paramount for comment.

Tom Cruise's success depends on sequels. He's not a real movie star.

No other actor could do that.

I’m not a huge fan of the guy really and wasn’t even a top gun fan. But, I got dragged to TGM and had a good time. It was sort of the antithesis of your usual Hollywood movie. All red meat, oozing machismo, no BS or added crap that had no business being there. Excellent.

That being said, it’s hard to imagine what they’ll do here with a third entry. Like someone said, I hope they don’t have him pass the torch to some wussy 25 year old.

How can you be a movie fan, and not a fan of Tom Cruise and his films? I want an explanation of your thought patterns!

Well - Tom has been in some good movies and then not so good. I find him sometimes to be miscast and just doesnt always work for me. Its subjective, of course.

They say jealousy will drive you mad....

The internet amuses. Star Wars is dead after the prequels, 10 years later The Force Awakens makes $2 billion.

James Cameron Titanic will flop. Avatar will flop. Well, surely Avatar 2 will flop. Well, fine... but wait for Avatar 3, that's gonna flop soooo hard.

Top Gun 2 will flop. That was a one-off, Tom Cruise isn't a star.

People love being negative.

So may I ask who is your real movie star? He seems to be doing pretty good in his movies to me.

Of course it is. A film doesn't make over a billion dollars and the studio says that's enough.

It sank, that's why.

But they could do a sequel called Britannic or Olympic, but the latter would be less impressive as it didn't sink heroically.

And Tom Cruise is a movie star, whether he does franchises or not.

There was a Titanic 2. It was awful!

I wonder how much Tom is going to get paid for this. I mean he asked for a big paycheck last time Paramount didn't give it to him, he got first-dollar gross and he walked away with 100 million dollars.

[Canada]

I wonder who they will get to direct?

[Michael24]

I'm not sure what they could do with Rooster considering he already had a good arc in Maverick, but I'm certainly interested.

After reading an article about it I would actually love to see a third film that is a prequel set in the early-70s during the start of the Top Gun program.

[levcore]

Mwynn and Blub will be gutted they didn't get in first with this thread lol.

This is great news, loved Maverick like most people and I'm really hyped for a third one. Glad they're bringing Powell back too.
