Tom Cruise has confirmed that Top Gun 2 is happening.
Top Gun was a box office smash upon its release, grossing $357 million (£275m).
The long-mooted sequel to his 1986 classic looks set to begin filming in 2018 with the actor telling Australian morning show Sunrise: “It is definitely happening.”
Rumours have been swirling for some time now, heightened by a photo that Top Gun producer Jerry Bruckheimer posted with Cruise captioned “Just got back gom a weekend in New Orleans to see my old friend… and discuss a little Top Gun 2.”
