This week, we got word thatTop Gun 3is coming our way, and now it's being reported that Tom Cruise is going to make an insane amount of money to pretend to fly a fighter jet.
Top Gun: Maverickcame out in 2022 and was not only critically acclaimed, but it also made a ton of money and has even been credited with helpingtheaterssurvive post-COVID.
So, when something works that well in Hollywood, you know they're going to circle back around to it. Which is fine by me. I'll watch a couple of hours of kickass fighter jet shots. Hopefully, they get Joseph Konsinski to direct. BetweenTop Gun: MaverickandF1,he is the undisputed king of directing movies about stuff that's fast.

But, of course, you need Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell in the fold, which means recruitingTom Cruiseto reprise the role.
Now, I don't think Cruise would take much convincing, but according to Daily Mail, he could net £100 million ($135,240,000) to appear in the film and serve as a producer.
That's because, for the previous film, he received £18 million (just under $25 million) but also received 8% of the film's profits.

Well, thanks to the previous film grossing over a billion dollars worldwide, that meant that Cruise got a cool £75 million ($101,430,000).
Is there any reason to believe the same thing won't happen withTop Gun 3?
