Paramount Pictures has officially greenlit “Top Gun 3,” signaling the triumphant return of Maverick and his elite crew to the big screen.

The announcement comes hot on the heels of the monumental success of “Top Gun: Maverick,” which soared to new heights at the box office and captured the hearts of audiences worldwide.

Iconic actor and aviation enthusiast Tom Cruise is set to reprise his role as the legendary Navy pilot, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, leading a star-studded cast that includes Glen Powell and Miles Teller. Powell, known for his charismatic performances in “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Hidden Figures,” will once again take to the skies as the daring pilot “Hangman,” while Teller, fresh off his acclaimed turn in “Whiplash,” will bring his trademark intensity to the role of “Rooster” Bradshaw, son of Maverick’s late best friend and Radar Intercept Officer, Goose.
