To say Top Gun: Maverick was a massive hit back in 2022 is an understatement. It landed a 96% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and went on to shockingly earn almost $1.5 billion worldwide after one of the longest theatrical runs of the post-pandemic era. Of course, Paramount Pictures wants to keep the now-series going, but Tom Cruise’s schedule was a bit of a problem. Now, Twisters co-star Glen Powell, who had a major secondary role in Maverick, is giving us some hope that the threequel may happen sooner rather than later.
Earlier this year, Powell didn’t play into online rumors about the threequel heating up at Paramount and Skydance. Now, however, his tune has changed (via Variety), seemingly signaling that things are starting to move fast.
“I mean, I have a date,” Powell said regarding a return to fighter jets for Top Gun 3 during the episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast with his Twisters co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones. Whether that means he’s starting physical prep or going back into pilot school well ahead of filming remains to be seen, but it’s worth noting, as everyone was under the assumption that the next Top Gun would take a while to get going. In fact, producer Jerry Bruckheimer recently told everyone to calm down.
