Top Gun II Sequel:

Tom Cruise to play lead role in ‘Top Gun 2′. Tom Cruise’s character Maverick was rumored to play a smaller role in the developing sequel to the 1986 classic ‘Top Gun’. Now screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie has revealed Maverick will be the film’s lead character. Tony Scott confirmed he will direct the follow-up to his 1986 blockbuster.

These days it seems like 'Top Gun 2' is making more news than the New York Times. Last week we brought you word that Paramount had offered Tony Scott the chance to helm a sequel to his iconic 1986 film (an offer that Scott has since publicly accepted), and that 'Usual Suspects' scribe Christopher McQuarrie would be tasked with writing the script. It was reported at the time that Tom Cruise would reprise his performance as ace pilot Maverick, but that the role would be dramatically reduced this time around, if not in a completely obvious fashion. Well, it turns out that "Supporting Role" simply isn't in the movie star's vocabulary ('Magnolia' doesn't count because that movie supported him, and 'Lions for Lambs' doesn't count because I'm pretty sure you just made it up). McQuarrie -- in an effort to set the record straight -- clarified matters via an e-mail to Vulture this afternoon that, "There is no 'Top Gun 2' in which Maverick is not the starring role."

So there ya have it. Cruise's status might be withering a bit from its former glory, but the sequel machine is firing on all cylinders and the star has no interest in taking a backseat to Taylor Lautner a younger actor. Just this summer 'Knight & Day' proved that he can carry a movie as well as ever (it was good, people), even if it didn't prove it to quite as many people as Cruise and Twentieth Century Fox might have liked. 'Mission Impossible IV' is already well into production (and likely to go as far as director Brad Bird takes it), and of all the other Cruise sequels rumored to be in development, 'Top Gun 2' is perhaps the one best prepared to accommodate for the star's waning appeal.

has been announced, and as for what the impending sequel might be titled, 'Top Gunner' is the current favorite according to the results of an informal poll conducted between the author of this post and no one else.

Happy that Cruise isn't going to be riding shotgun in the sequel? Is there a chance that McQuarrie's quote was intentionally vague because another actor is going to be playing the role of Maverick after all? Do you have a better title? Do you feel the need? The need... for speed? If yes, you should probably follow the jump.

Fans of Top Gun have been longing for a sequel since quite a long. Well, it seems the wait will soon be over: Paramount is planning indeed to develop a movie sequel to Top Gun. Director Tony Scott, who helmed the first film, has been called back to direct Top Gun 2. Actor Tom Cruise who played the role of Maverick said he'd be interested in showing up for some sort of cameo or to play a supporting role, but not to play the lead role. Scriptwriter Christopher McQuarrie (Usual Suspects, Valkyrie) has been hired to pen the script of Top Gun 2.

"I'm not waiting for a script by Christopher McQuarrie. I'm going to do my homework. I'm going down to Fallon, Nevada, it's a whole different world now. These computer geeks -- these kids play war games in a trailer in Fallon, Nevada and if we ever went to war or were in the Middle East or the Far East or wherever it is, these guys can actually fly drones. They are unmanned aircraft. They operate them and then they party all night.

They operate these drones like it's war games, but it's for real. This world fascinated me, because it's so different from what it was originally. But, I don't want to do a remake. I don't want to do a reinvention. I want to do a new movie."
_Director Tony Scott

Sounds like Top Gun 2 will involve drone pilots and how the old jet-fighter pilots fit in the new military paradigm. Well, I kind of like this angle. I doubt it will as thrilling and epic as the first film, but Top Gun 2 will still make for a really interesting sequel and will shed light on the latest warfare technologies and how the military use them.

Plot Details

Tony Scott has confirmed that he will direct the long-overdue follow-up to his 1986 blockbuster ‘Top Gun’. David Ellison will produce alongside Jerry Bruckheimer. Christopher McQuarrie, Oscar-winning screenwriter of ‘The Usual Suspects’, will pen the sequel.
