Following the immense success of 'Top Gun: Maverick' and recent studio deals, a third film in the 'Top Gun' franchise has been confirmed, with Tom Cruise on board to star alongside Miles Teller and Glen Powell. Director Joseph Kosinski is speculated to produce as well, with plans to continue the story of mentor Pete "Maverick" Mitchell and his protégés Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw and Jake "Hangman" Seresin. Paramount, the studio behind both 'Top Gun' and Cruise's popular 'Mission: Impossible' series, will be overseeing production for what is sure to be another blockbuster hit for the actor.
