Just when you count him out, Maverick is back.
After months of hardly any new information whatsoever on the next Top Gun movie, director Joseph Kosinski has (sort of) revealed what fans will see in what is expected to be the final installment of Tom Cruise’s role in the movie franchise.
“I think we’ve found a way to do it, not only in the scale of what we’re proposing, but the idea itself of the story we’re telling. We’re thinking much bigger than… It’s a really existential crisis that Maverick has in this, and it’s much bigger than himself… I’m trying to describe it without giving anything away. It’s an existential question that Maverick has to deal with, that would make Maverick feel small, I think, as a movie, compared to what we’re talking about,” Kosinski told GQ Magazine.
And as far as Cruise’s role specifically? Kosinski says that they’ve brought on F1 writer Ehren Kruger, who is currently working on what will be Maverick’s final fighter jet ride in the sky.
“Yeah, there’s still more story to tell for him. There’s one last ride. So we’re working on it now. Ehren Kruger, who wrote F1, is writing the script. Like all things, it takes a while to work things out.”
