Moviegoers needed to wait 36 years between “Prime Gun” and “Prime Gun: Maverick,” however the third movie within the franchise could be coming a lot sooner. Paramount introduced plans to proceed with “Prime Gun 3” in January 2024, with Tom Cruise anticipated to return alongside Glen Powell and Miles Teller.
Cruise’s busy schedule, which features a sequel to “Mission: Unimaginable – Useless Reckoning” and an untitled English language function from Alejandro González Iñárritu, makes it unlikely that he’ll be capable to begin manufacturing on “Prime Gun 3” within the instant future. However in keeping with franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer, “Maverick” director Joseph Kosinski’s new script is coming alongside easily.
“It is going to be Tom Cruise,” Bruckheimer mentioned of the hypothetical third film in a latest interview with Display screen Rant. “Tom is superb. We hung out with him. We now have a narrative. Joe Kosinski had a beautiful story concept for it, and he mentioned, ‘I actually like that,’ so we’re growing it. However you by no means know when it’s going to get made as a result of Tom is so busy. He’s doing ‘Mission: Unimaginable’ proper now, he’s obtained an image after it. Hopefully, we’ll get a screenplay that he loves, and we’ll be again within the air once more.”
Hypothesis about “Prime Gun 3” started nearly instantly after the success of “Maverick,” however the supporting solid at all times acknowledged {that a} third movie would finally relaxation on Cruise’s willingness to return and the crew’s skill to craft extra death-defying aerial stunts.
“So, is there going to be a ‘Prime Gun 3’? If we will determine extra loopy issues to do with airplanes or a narrative that it’s compelling and emotional and adventurous and romantic and all these issues like, I’m certain Tom could be down,” Powell mentioned in a 2022 interview with IndieWire. “However that’s above my pay grade. Perhaps you possibly can pitch it to him if you discuss to him!”
