Top Gun 3 is reportedly on the table. Here are 7 Top Gun: Maverick characters who could return if the sequel gets the greenlight.
After almost three decades, the action-packed Tom Cruise-helmed Top Gun, the highest domestic-grossing film of 1986, received a sequel. And not just a sequel for the franchise’s sake, but one that turned heads globally. Per Forbes, Top Gun: Maverick finished as 2022’s highest-grossing film, domestically garnering $718 million. In fact, the global box office collection of Top Gun: Maverick hovered around $1.4 billion, beating other blockbusters like Avatar: The Way of Water and Jurassic World.
Apart from being a commercial hit, Top Gun: Maverick even offered a nostalgic ride to its audience. The film reunited some of Top Gun's beloved characters and recreated some of the iconic sequences from the first iteration. But all said and done, the next question is: will there ever be Top Gun 3?
Well, the answer is certainly not an easy and clear one. In fact, per Maverick director Joseph Kosinski, there is a possibility, but just not yet. In an interview with Deadline, Kosinski said, “Is there another story that is compelling enough that we need to go back? It seems to me at the end of this film that Maverick has some gas left in the tank. He’s not settling down." For now, let's assume for argument’s sake, that there is going to be a Top Gun 3 — here is the list of characters who could return in the future iteration.After almost three decades, the action-packed Tom Cruise-helmed Top Gun, the highest domestic-grossing film of 1986, received a sequel.
