“Top Gun 3” is confirmed and turns the action-packed series with Tom Cruise into a trilogy. You can find out all the information so far about the third part with Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell from us.
Viewers had to wait over 36 years for “Top Gun: Maverick” with Tom Cruise. Not so with “Top Gun 3”! After the Hollywood star negotiated a deal with Warner Bros. for new projects, there will soon be another sequel to the popular action series.
We'll tell you when you can expect a new action-packed “Top Gun” film with Tom Cruise and what happens next!
Top Gun 3: Start
Currently, no official release date for “Top Gun 3” has been announced. Tom Cruise is currently busy with “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning”, the eighth part of the “Mission Impossible” series, which is scheduled to start in May 2025. It is therefore conceivable that he will film “Top Gun 3” afterwards, which means the action film will most likely be released in 2026.
Top Gun 3: Plot
The story of “Top Gun 3” will most likely follow on from “Top Gun: Maverick” and deal with new, interesting conflicts such as the use of combat drones. Here the pilots around Maverick, Goose and Rooster could advocate that fighter planes should only be piloted by people and not by machines.
There's also a theory that a new villain was already revealed in Part 2. But it remains to be seen how the plot actually develops in the third part of the series.
Top Gun 3: Trailer
There is currently no trailer for “Top Gun 3”.
Top Gun 3: Cast

Other of his fellow actors could be involved again, including Miles Teller (“The Offer”) as the son of the injured Nick “Goose” Bradshaw, Lt. Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw, and Glen Powell (“Scream Queens”) as Lt. Jake “Hangman” Seresin.
