The story for Top Gun 3 is finalized, according to longtime Tom Cruise collaborator Christopher McQuarrie. He shared during a recent interview that the creative process was smooth and surprising, with the concept locked in quickly.
Rather than struggling with plot development, McQuarrie said the true difficulty lies in crafting the emotional resonance that audiences expect. He emphasized that the mechanics of action sequences are secondary to storytelling depth.
McQuarrie is also exploring a spinoff around Les Grossman, Cruise’s infamous Tropic Thunder character. While nothing is confirmed yet, serious conversations are underway to bring the eccentric mogul back to the big screen.
