'Top Gun 3' Is in Development, Paramount Studio Head Confirms

  • On Thursday, Paramount Pictures confirmed a third Top Gun film is in development, reuniting actor Tom Cruise with producer Jerry Bruckheimer, as Paramount film co-head Josh Greenstein announced the script is underway at CinemaCon in Las Vegas.
  • Following the $1.5 billion success of Top Gun: Maverick in 2022, Paramount CEO David Ellison identified the franchise as a top priority, planning to build on popular titles including Star Trek and Yellowstone.
  • Scribe Ehren Kruger is writing the script for the project, which has been in development for several years. Plot details remain secret, though the film is expected to continue Pete "Maverick" Mitchell's story with younger Navy pilots.
  • Although Cruise did not appear on stage, he kicked off the studio's presentation with a video filmed on the Melrose Avenue lot. Ellison, who has collaborated with the star on ten films, remains committed to their partnership.
  • Spanning 36 years since the 1986 original directed by Tony Scott, the franchise continues its legacy. Cruise's return to the iconic role underscores Paramount's reliance on established properties to anchor its theatrical future.
