The director of Top Gun 3 Joseph Kosinski makes fun of an “ambitious” idea with the help of the Navy and Lockheed

After Top Gun: Maverick He passed beyond the brand of billions of dollars and rekindled the legacy of Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, the big question became: what is the next? The answer is starting to concentrate and seems something that could push the franchise into unexplored airspace.

In a recent interview with Screenrant, Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski confirmed it Top Gun 3 It is in active development and will no longer be the same. He shared:

“Ehren Kruger is writing the screenplay while we talk. It is a great idea that I spent almost a year to develop – working with some friends of the Navy and Lockheed. And yes, now Ehren is there, so we’ll see how it comes.”

I love the fact that anything is cooking for this third film has required months of collaboration with the Marina staff and Lockheed engineers. It’s all because the idea was too big to be ignored. He added:

“It was a question of having an idea that – once again – a new challenge has felt. Something that opens the story in a way that you cannot let you go. And I think the idea is so ambitious. This is what is exciting for me.”

Kosinski is not the only return name to the piloting cabin. Christopher Mcquarriethat co-scored Maverick and was committed to guiding the Mission: Impossible Franchise, even on board and, according to him, the story has joined faster than expected.

“It wasn’t difficult. I thought it would be, and it’s a good place to pass from is walking in the room,” come on, what will we do? “And Ehren Kruger launched something and I went,” Mhm actually “and we had a conversation about it and the picture is there”.

That “framework” will be based on the emotional and thematic nucleus of Top Gun: MaverickA film that has found a new depth in the role of Maverick as a mentor, his unresolved story with the son of Goose and his brush with obsolescence in a rapidly modernization soldier.

While the details on Top Gun 3 Strictly remain under the compresses, the involvement of Lockheed and the Navy suggests that whatever Kosinski and Team have planned, is about to support heavily on the bleeding edge of the aerial war, and probably ask some difficult questions about the future of combat drivers in an age of drones without pilot and systems.

Until then, Top Gun fans can console themselves in knowing that the next mission is in progress and that it is made with the same care, technical precision and attention based on the plot that has made Maverick a modern action classic.
