Top Gun 3 may feel like an inevitability after Tom Cruise’s triumphant return in Top Gun: Maverick, but the future of the Top Gun franchise and a third movie is far from certain. 36 years after Top Gun became a cultural phenomenon Tom Cruise reprised one of his most iconic roles, Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, in Top Gun: Maverick. Cruise was not only joined by Val Kilmer as Admiral Tom “Iceman” Kazansky from the original film, but new characters like Rooster (Miles Teller), the son of Goose (Anthony Edwards), Maverick’s deceased co-pilot.
