Top Gun 2 is currently in development and does not have a release date.
Following Cruise’s comments yesterday as well, Variety is reporting that TRON: Legacy director, Joseph Kosinski, is currently the front-runner to direct the highly-anticipated sequel.
That is, until yesterday at least, when Cruise confirmed once and for all, that Top Gun 2 is indeed happening.
It’s not that Cruise or the studio have avoided the possibility of it either, with the Top Gun sequel being mentioned and played around with multiple times over the past few years.
