Top Gun 3 Update: Jerry Bruckheimer Says Tom Cruise Has Been Pitched a 'Story He Liked'

Jerry Bruckheimer tells PEOPLE that plans are in motion for Tom Cruise to reprise his role as Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell in a third 'Top Gun' movie, but it's unclear when they will make the sequel. "He's really engaged in every part of the process," Bruckheimer says of Cruise.

When asked what the movie's success more than 25 years after the first Top Gun means to him, Bruckheimer tells PEOPLE, "Oh, it's fantastic." The producer teamed up with director Ritchie, 55, for a film that stars Henry Cavill as a British special ops agent during World War II. "I've been a fan of his since [1998's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels], way back when he was a young pup," Bruckheimer says of working with Ritchie.
