Soon after the release of Top Gun: Maverick, which did exceptionally well at the box office, film director Joseph Kosinski discussed the possibility of a third instalment starring Cruise.

“It took 36 years for Tom to agree to do this one! It’s up to him,” Joseph said while speaking with Indiewire.

“He’s the one that has to be convinced. That’s how this project started, with Jerry and I going to Paris to talk Tom into it,” he added.

“It’s all about story. It’s all about emotion. If we can figure out a way, a journey for Maverick to go back and be with these young pilots and figure something out, maybe it could happen.”

“I think for now, we should just enjoy that we got this one,” he concluded.
