Tom Cruise Returns to Top Gun

The Sun reports that there are rumours suggesting that Tom Cruise may star in the follow-up to the cult film Top Gun.

Paramount Studios approached the actor to resume his role as Maverick in Top Gun 2. He would play a flight instructor and would have to teach young students who are as arrogant and challenging as he was when he arrived at the Top Gun academy.

22 years ago, during the first installment, a sequel was already being discussed. However, the project never materialised because at the time, the actor’s salary demands were found to be excessive.

The screenplay for Top Gun 2 has already been written. Therefore, it’s up to Tom Cruise to make the film happen.

Cruise, whose career seems be taking a slight beating, will make an appearance in the comedy Tropic Thunder, coming to theatres on August 13.
