Sounds Like Tom Cruise Will Star in 'Top Gun 2,' Set in Modern Times
Have you ever heard whispers and even above-whisper-level words about Top Gun 2? Probably. But it's been years since it sounded like Tom Cruise would really take part if the project ever materialized, and now we're back on Code Maverick.
Screenwriter Justin Marks, who handled Disney's new Jon Favreau-directed Jungle Book, is penning a sequel to the 1986 original. Here's what Skydance Productions CEO David Ellison had to say about the modern-day follow-up:
"[Marks] has a phenomenal take to really update that world for what fighter pilots in the Navy [have] turned into today. There is an amazing role for Maverick in the movie and there is no Top Gun without Maverick, and it is going to be Maverick playing Maverick. It is I don’t think what people are going to expect, and we are very, very hopeful that we get to make the movie very soon. But like all things, it all comes down to the script, and Justin is writing as we speak."
