Get your bomber jacket on and slick back that hair because Top Gun 2 is still being considered for production, according to producer Jerry Bruckheimer. The major producer confirmed the status of the film during a 20th Century Fox conference, stating the sequel has been on the back-burner for thirty years and everyone involved is still interested in making it. He stated ' For 30 years we've been trying to make a sequel and we're not going to stop. We still want to do it with Tom and Paramount are still interested in making it [...]What Tom tells me is that no matter where he goes in the world, people refer to him as Maverick'. Making a film due to fan request is very dutiful is it not? Tom Cruise has love for you if you were born in the 80s.
It's probably important to note this doesn't mean the sequel will live up the high anticipation surrounding it from fans of the 1986 original. Bruckheimer has is the producer of Pirates of the Caribbean 5 so it's safe to say his driving force is not to maintain quality level but is more finance-based. In any case, the nicknames Maverick and Goose will be flying around again like nobody's business.
