Bruckheimer recently opened up about Top Gun 3, Johnny Depp’s potential return in the next Pirates of the Caribbean installment, and the upcoming Formula 1 movie involving Brad Pitt.

Talking to Entertainment Tonight, he was asked about the “pilot dynamic” featuring the leading characters of Top Gun 3. Answering whether it will explore another Maverick-Rooster-like relationship, the producer replied, “I can’t tell you. It’s a secret.”

To the question of having seen a script of the film, he replied, “Not yet. We’re working on it.”

In a previous interview, Bruckheimer confirmed that there is a story idea that he and Tom Cruise “really like.” Giving an idea for the production timeline, Bruckheimer said that it was all dependent on Cruise’s schedule:

“It will be Tom Cruise. Tom is amazing. We spent time with him. We have a story. Joe Kosinski had a wonderful story idea for it, and he (Tom Cruise) said I really like that, so we’re developing it. But you never know when it’s going to get made because Tom is so busy. He’s doing Mission: Impossible right now, he’s got a picture after it.”

The sequel to Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning is still over a year away, with a scheduled release date of May 23, 2025. Following that, Cruise is said to appear in his untitled space-based project before returning for Top Gun 3. So, it’ll be a while before the 61-year-old returns as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell.

In January 2024, Puck reported that Ehren Kruger is penning the script for the upcoming threequel. Besides Cruise, Miles Teller and Glen Powell will also reprise their roles from the previous installment while Joseph Kosinski is returning to direct.
