To the surprise of fans, Top Gun 3 has officially been confirmed. Some of the film franchise’s original production team and cast will be reprising their roles. Notably, Tom Cruise will still be starring in the third movie—but not everyone’s making a comeback.
Josh Kosinski, the director of Top Gun: Maverick, won’t be making his return. The director will be working on Miami Vice, starring Michael B. Jordan. It may seem like a surprise, but arguably, it’s tradition at this point for all the Top Gun movies to have different directors. Tony Scott was the director of the first movie, and to this day, his artistic choices remain memorable to film critics.
