“Top Gun: Maverick” star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Glen Powell</a> has confirmed that a sequel to the hugely successful 2022 film is not only happening, but that a date has been set for filming to get underway.
Speaking on the <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/daisy-edgar-jones-glen-powell/id827905050?i=1000662962312">“Happy Sad Confused” podcast</a>, the 35-year-old actor remained mostly tight-lipped about the third film in the “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/top-gun">Top Gun”</a> franchise, but did say he has a date for filming.
“I mean, I have a date,” Powell told the host Josh Horowitz.
When pressed by the host for any details regarding the plot line or other information about the next film, the “Top Gun” star replied, “Absolutely not,” and suggested they move on to another topic, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/07/23/entertainment/glen-powell-confirms-top-gun-3-is-to-begin-filming-i-have-a-date/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=nypost">New York Post</a> noted.

In January, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/paramount-is-working-on-top-gun-3-with-tom-cruise-report">report surfaced</a> that Paramount Pictures was working on a third “Top Gun” movie with Tom Cruise, but no details were released about who would be involved or when fans can expect it to hit the big screen.
Powell along with “Top Gun” star Cruise and Miles Teller have been questioned about when production will get underway, but little information has been shared so far.
During the “Twisters” star’s appearance at the Sundance Film Festival, Powell said that “there is going to be some fun stuff being announced soon … but it was confidential to me. I talk to [Joseph] Kosinski, Cruise and Jerry [Bruckheimer] all the time.”
“There is stuff happening and it sounds very exciting,” he added. “I don’t know when I’ll be going back … I’m sure there is a jet waiting for me sometime in the future.”

In March, producer Bruckheimer told <a href="https://people.com/jerry-bruckheimer-teases-top-gun-3-praises-tom-cruise-how-hard-he-works-exclusive-8621250">People</a> that, “We <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/28/entertainment/tom-cruise-pitched-top-gun-3-storyline-how-he-reacted/">pitched Tom a story he liked.</a> But he’s a very in-demand actor and he’s got a lot of movies lined up, so we have to wait and see.”
Bruckheimer not only produced the original 1986 “Top Gun” film, but the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/top-gun">sequel</a> to “Top Gun” that grossed more domestically than any other movie in 2022 and was genuinely loved by critics and audience members alike, <a href="https://deadline.com/2023/02/top-gun-maverick-rotten-tomatoes-best-film-2022-1235253650/">Deadline</a> noted.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the decidedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/top-gun-maverick-becomes-studios-highest-earning-film-at-domestic-box-office-in-its-110-year-history">non-woke sequel</a> centers around Cruise’s character “Pete Mitchell, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him,” before he is called back to “Top Gun,” according to <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1745960/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0">IMDb</a>.
The film became one of the top-grossing films of all time, <a href="https://deadline.com/2022/08/top-gun-maverick-1-4-billion-worldwide-box-office-tom-cruise-1235097053/">Deadline</a> noted. Its global success made it Cruise’s first film to ever reach such a milestone.  The success of the movie did not escape the “Jack Reacher” star, who previously took to <a href="https://x.com/TomCruise/status/1541489523485442048?s=20&amp;t=ByFJE-HCPM_waJk-exr3Fw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">social media</a> to thank fans for turning up in droves.
