While I will be the first to pass up any Tom Cruise movie (call me a hater, that’s fine), I will also tell you that I will get past my dislike of the man for one franchise only – Top Gun. Then again, I will get past that for one main reason – the rest of the cast.
After all, Top Gun: Maverick, was/is really damn good. Pains me to say that because – Tom Cruise isn’t my favorite actor.
It turns out that there is a Top Gun 3 in development at Paramount. If anyone is shocked by this, we have so many questions how it wasn’t obvious for you. Top Gun: Maverick made a buttload of money.
It’s rumored that Ehren Kruger is working on the script for Top Gun 3 and that Top Gun: Maverick’s director, Joseph Kosinski is coming back to direct the third film. Only time will tell.
The Top Gun: Maverick saw a return to the universe of Top Gun. After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign: “Rooster,” the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose”.
Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.
Top Gun: Maverick starred Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Charles Parnell, Bashir Salahuddin, Monica Barbaro, Jay Ellis, Danny Ramirez, and Greg Tarzan Davis with Ed Harris.
