00:00 Three, two, one.
00:02 Buckle up, ET has confirmed Top Gun 3 with Tom Cruise
00:06 is in the works.
00:07 I'm trying to deliver for you.
00:09 Just let me know, I'll circle that date on the calendar
00:11 and then we can shoot it.
00:12 I'd follow Tom anywhere, I just love the guy.
00:14 Here's what we know.
00:16 First, the plot.
00:17 Maybe it's in space.
00:18 The door's open for each and every one of our characters.
00:20 Yep, word is that the third film
00:22 in the Paramount franchise would reunite Maverick
00:25 with the Top Gun team, including hangman Glen Powell
00:28 and Miles Teller as Rooster.
00:30 I feel like there's a lot of story to be told for Rooster.
00:33 Are you pitching a sequel right now?
00:35 Yes.
00:35 OK.
00:36 I'm open.
00:37 I say, guys, I'm open to ideas and I will present that to Tom.
00:41 Working with Cruise was the greatest experience of my life.
00:44 I've learned more about filmmaking,
00:46 I've learned more about movies.
00:47 You can't anticipate what's going to happen.
00:50 I put everything I have in every movie I make,
00:52 the sequel to the sequel.
00:54 Does it exist?
00:55 Is it a thought?
00:56 We'll get through the awards and then we'll see what happens.
00:58 Top Gun Maverick.
01:00 Maverick won an Oscar for best sound
01:02 and made nearly 1.5 billion worldwide.
01:05 And Tom, one of the few bankable international movie stars,
01:08 is credited with bringing audiences back
01:10 after the pandemic.
01:12 You have a gross of over 10 billion
01:15 at the box office throughout your career.
01:18 I make movies for audiences.
01:19 As for the timeline, yeah, it'll be a minute.
01:22 Trust me.
01:23 Right now, the 61-year-old is finishing up
01:25 his eighth Mission Impossible film
01:27 and that won't be released until May of next year.
01:30 Cruise has also inked a production deal
01:32 with Warner Brothers and he's been working
01:34 on an outer space movie at Universal.
01:37 It's very technical.
01:38 It's a wonderful story.
01:39 So we're working hard on that one.
