Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning opened on the 2025 movies schedule over the weekend, once again pairing Tom Cruise with writer/director Christopher McQuarrie. Their professional relationship extends far beyond Ethan Hunt’s cinematic adventures, however, with the most recent example outside of that action space being that McQuarrie co-wrote Top Gun: Maverick. Given what a critical and commercial success the sequel was, it should come as no surprise that Top Gun 3 is in the works, and McQuarrie just gave an exciting update on the threequel’s progress.
In an interview on Happy Sad Confused, McQuarrie was asked by podcast host Josh Horowitz if “Top Gun 3 is harder to crack in some ways than Top Gun: Maverick,” and the filmmaker immediately responded:
No, it’s already in the bag. I already know what it is. It wasn’t hard. I thought it would be. And that’s a good place to go from, you walk in the room and go ‘Come on, what are we going to do?’ And Ehren Kruger pitched something, and I went ‘Hmmm, actually…’ And we had one conversation about it, and the framework is there. So no, it’s not hard to crack.
