Glen Powell Confirms Top Gun 3 in Development

Glen Powell hinted on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast that he has a 'date' for filming the highly anticipated sequel, Top Gun 3, suggesting that production may commence soon. While he did not disclose specifics, this aligns with earlier reports that Paramount Pictures has greenlit the project and that Ehren Kruger is working on the screenplay. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer expressed optimism about the sequel, noting that plans are in motion, but Tom Cruise's busy schedule with other projects may affect timelines. It's anticipated that Top Gun 3 could start shooting in 2025, with a possible summer 2026 release. The film is expected to reunite Powell with co-stars Tom Cruise and Miles Teller, along with director Joseph Kosinski. This development follows the massive success of Top Gun: Maverick, which grossed nearly $1.5 billion globally.
