Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski offers an optimistic update on Top Gun 3.
36 years after the first Top Gun hit theaters in 1986, its sequel, launched in 2022, brought back Tom Cruise as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. The second movie’s triumph at the box office and positive reviews from critics have sparked excitement for a third installment. Now, Kosinski has further ignited our anticipation.
What is Joseph Kosinski’s latest Top Gun 3 update?
As a diehard fan, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news! In an exclusive chat with ScreenRant for the promotion of F1: The Movie (releasing on June 27), the film’s director has dropped a bombshell – Ehren Kruger, co-writer of Maverick, is now penning the script for Top Gun 3. He also hinted at an “ambitious” concept that has me on the edge of my seat! What makes this announcement even more exhilarating is the possibility of Joseph Kosinski returning as director and Tom Cruise reprising his iconic role, ready to soar through the skies once again!
In simple terms, Kosinski mentioned that Ehren Kruger is currently penning the script. This concept has been in the works for nearly a year, with input from friends at the Navy and Lockheed. Moreover, Kruger appears enthusiastic about it now, so we’ll have to wait and see how things progress.
He remarked, “What I had in mind was creating something fresh, a task that seemed like an invigorating challenge once more. A concept that would expand the narrative in such a way it becomes captivating and irresistible. And what makes this idea intriguing is its grandeur – that’s what excites me.
In a class of its own, the Top Gun movie directed by Tony Scott was impressive, but the sequel, Top Gun: Maverick, surpassed all expectations. Not only did it pull in substantial box office earnings, but it also became a favorite among critics, earning a remarkable 96% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and an exceptional 99% score from audiences.
1986’s initial release received a 59% approval from critics, as indicated by the aggregate of reviews. However, audiences seemed to be more forgiving, bestowing it with an 83% rating. Interestingly, both films were commercially successful during their individual cinema releases.
In addition to Tom Cruise, the cast of Top Gun: Maverick includes Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, among others.
As a devoted fan, I’m eagerly waiting for more insights into the upcoming third installment of our favorite series. It’s currently being scripted, so we might need to exercise a bit of patience until additional details are unveiled.
