It appears (revealed by the Hollywood Reporter) that ‘Top Gun 3’ is in the works at Paramount. Many audiences think that this is a mistake because Top Gun: Maverick was at its peak and an installment can only ruin. However, let’s look at the bright side — We don’t have to wait 36 years for it.

Green light for Top Gun III

As stated by the Hollywood Reporter: Top Gun: Maverick co-writer Ehren Kruger is penning a script for what would be a new installment, and sources say Maverick director Joe Kosinski would also return to direct. Puck first reported the news of Kruger’s involvement. The intent is to reunite Tom Cruise with his next-gen co-stars Miles Teller and Glen Powell. The development comes days after Warner Bros. Discovery announced that Cruise had signed a deal to star in and produce movies for Warners, though that pact is nonexclusive. The actor’s recent films have largely been at Paramount, though he did not have a deal there. While some could view the Top Gun news as a tit for tat in the war for Cruise headlines, the reality is this sequel has quietly been in development since late fall”.

What and when?

Top Gun 3 is under top secret at Paramount Pictures. But we can assume that the release of the upcoming Top Gun movie may not happen soon. Tom Cruise will probably be busy until May 2025, owing to his tight schedule for the eighth Mission: Impossible installment. However, it will be a LOT less than the delta of 36 years (between TG1 to TG2).

How? (cinematography…)

Well, we know nothing about the cinematography that would be executed on TG3. But we can assure you that it would be just as great as Maverick. It’s funny that we toyed with the idea that TG3 will use six Sony CineAlta Medium Format cinema cameras inside the fighter jet cockpit. That would look great on the huge canvas. No distortion of faces and higher FOV — exactly what a Tom Cruise would want (watch the video below).

Let us know your opinion about TG3. Do you think it’s a good idea? Can TG3 overcome the phenomenal success of Maverick?
