Tom Cruise has confirmed rumours that a sequel to 1986 classic Top Gun is in the works, with filming to begin “probably in the next year”.
In January 2016, producer Jerry Bruckheimer tweeted a photo of himself with Cruise, saying: “Just got back from a weekend in New Orleans to see my old friend Tom Cruise and discuss a little Top Gun 2.”
It is definitely happening … you’re the first people that I’ve said this to.”
Top Gun, an action and romance film about a squad of fighter pilots, grossed $356 million after its 1986 release, and has since become something of a cult classic.
