The Paramount film studio has begun work on the third part of the successful action saga ‘Top Gun’ and hopes to be able to add actor Tom Cruise to its main cast again, Puck, an American media focused on business, reported this Friday.

The co-writer of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, Ehren Kruger, is already “officially” working on this new project for which Paramount is still seeking to convince director Joe Kosinski with the premise of reuniting Cruise with the performers Miles Teller and Glen Powell, according to information from the aforementioned media.

Released in 2022, ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ was a lucrative film for Paramount, making almost $1.5 billion at the international box office and being nominated for an Oscar for best picture last year. which was brewing for years until they found a way to involve Cruise in dressing up as an aviator again.

The news of the third installment of ‘Top Gun’ comes just three days after an agreement was made public between Cruise and the Warner Bros. Discovery studio for the actor to produce, develop and star in new films or franchises starting this year. under an association described as “strategic” by both parties.

Within the framework of this agreement, the American star will even have his own offices for his production company within the company’s facilities in Burbank (Los Angeles, USA).
