Variety reported on May 24 that Joseph Kosinski — who directed Cruise in Oblivion — was the frontrunner to direct Top Gun 2 for Paramount and Skydance Pictures.
Skydance CEO David Ellison and Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced the 1986 original, will produce with Cruise. This latest project will be set in a world of drone technology and fifth generation fighters and explore the end of an era of dogfighting.
