Tom Cruise to reprise his role in ‘Top Gun 2’?

However, it’s worth mentioning that just because Marks (author of the screenplays for Andrzej Bartkowiak’s “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” and Jon Favreau’s “The Jungle Book”) is writing a part for Cruise does not mean the actor will necessarily sign on for the role. “It’s really exploring the end of an era of dogfighting and fighter pilots and what that culture is today”.

In 2010, there were plans to make a sequel of Top Gun.

Yes, it’s happening – ‘Top Gun 2′ has been confirmed 30 years after the original film was released in 1986. Tom played Lieutenant Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell, a young Naval aviator aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, in the film.

So, less ‘Take my Breath Away’ and more ‘Take my Control Away and Hand it Over to an Autonomous Killing Machine.’ I will lay a considerable amount of money down now on drones being pictured as some sort of villain, which the “valiant” fighter pilots have to defeat using their wizened old traditional dog fighting reflexes. When you look at the world of dogfighting, what’s interesting about it is that it’s not a world that exists to the same degree it did when the original movie came out. But Top Gun 2 is indeed on the way. “This world has not been explored”, he said. According to a report by Variety, Skydance CEO David Ellison confirmed in that the movie is in development while appearing at a press junket in Berlin. “If we can get over some stumbling blocks it will be fun to do”, Sky News reported. But Ellison told us that he has no interest in being on screen ever again.

It’s great to hear that Top Gun 2 will explore contemporary issues, though it’s still unclear how Cruise’s Maverick, at this point surely a veteran of the flying forces, will factor into the plot.
