Tom Cruise is gearing up for the next Top Gun story and after the massive success of Top Gun Maverickexpectations are naturally very high.
The latest film did more than just entertain, it brought people back to the cinema at a time when the industry was struggling and also told an emotionally charged story alongside the action.
For this reason, the next film should move the story forward in a meaningful way, and not just repeat the same formula.
Work on the script has already started but everything is being handled carefully because the 63-year-old Hollywood icon has always been very passionate about this work.
Cruise has previously said that it took years to find the right story for the previous film, so the same level of effort is being put into this one.
The story, however, will likely continue to explore Maverick’s role as a mentor, especially after his relationship with Rooster in the last film.
It’s also hoped that actors like Miles Teller and Glen Powell will return, as they have become a key part of the new storyline.
Another important thing is the style of the film, as the Tom Cruise star prefers real flying scenes to heavy visual effects, which is expected to continue.
The film is still a few years away, but the focus is clearly on building to something that lives up to the impact of the last film.
