"Paramount Announces 'Top Gun 3' with Tom Cruise Returning"
Paramount is working on a third installment of the Top Gun franchise, with Top Gun: Maverick co-writer Ehren Kruger penning the script and potential return of director Joe Kosinski. The studio aims to reunite Tom Cruise with his co-stars from the previous film. Despite Cruise's recent deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, the new Top Gun movie has been in development since late fall. With Cruise currently occupied with the eighth Mission: Impossible movie, the release of the new Top Gun film is not expected in the near future, but this development underscores Cruise's continued status as an in-demand star.
