Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer has officially teased new sequels for three of his biggest franchises: Top Gun, F1: The Movie, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Among these, the announcement of Top Gun 3 has particularly stirred interest. In a recent interview with Variety, Bruckheimer shared insights into his upcoming projects. This has sparked excitement among fans of high-octane action and cinematic adventure.
Top Gun 3 is set to fly higher
Following the massive success of Top Gun: Maverick (2022), which grossed over $1.4 billion worldwide, Bruckheimer confirmed that a third installment is in the works. While no casting details have been revealed, fans are hopeful for the return of Tom Cruise and director Joseph Kosinski. They are keen on keeping the top gun tradition alive.
“We’re developing another Top Gun,” Bruckheimer told Variety. “Hopefully, we’ll make another F1. We’re working on another Pirates.”
F1: The Movie sequel planned
F1: The Movie, starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, offered a thrilling look into the world of Formula 1 racing. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the film was praised for its realism and immersive storytelling. It resembled the top action sequences one would find in a top gun film.
“It gave you a great ride,” Bruckheimer said. “You got immersed inside this world… These drivers are some of the greatest athletes in the world. There are only 20 of them.” Actors trained for months to drive at speeds of up to 180 mph, showcasing the intense preparation behind the scenes.
Pirates of the Caribbean will be ready for another voyage
