He did not stop at sharing the title. Cruise went on to drop hints about the storyline as well. Careful about not revealing too much information, he told Access Hollywood that the film will be like the first one.
"It's gonna be a competition film, like the first one. And it's gonna be in the same vein, the same tone as the first one. But a progression for Maverick." Cruise told the website.
He also added that the film will carry forward the same style and score from the first Top Gun. Maverick will feature the aviators, aircraft, jets and everything that defined Top Gun. "I am very excited, this is going to be a great challenge," he told in the video below.
