Tom Cruz returns to Maverick’s role: “Top Gun 3” took the green light

He returns to the role of Maverick, but unknown when. Paramount approved “3” with the famous actor returning to the lead role. Tom Cruz at this time is busy, which does not allow him to determine when his fans “Top Gun” will be able to see his third sequel. Variety confirmed in January that Paramount gave the green light for “Top Gun 3” with the actor returning to the lead role. The franchise producer, Jerry Brookheimer, said in an interview with ScreenRant that he does not know when Cruz will have free time on his schedule to make the third film “Top Gun”. “Tom is amazing. We spent time together. We have a story. Joseph Kosinski had a wonderful idea where the story would go and [Tom] said he liked it a lot, so we develop it,” the veteran producer said. “But you never know when it will, because Tom is too busy. He does “Mission: Impossible” right now and has another film after that. Let’s hope we have a script that he likes and we’ll meet again in the “air”. Brookheimer also confirmed that along with Tom Cruz Glen Powell and Miles Teller are likely to return.
