The producer of the original film, Jerry Bruckheimer has said that he is working on a sequel to the classic 1986 fighter pilot movie and Cruise, 51, will reprise his role as Maverick, reported Huffington Post.
"We've been trying to get that movie made for 30 years, and I think we're getting closer and closer. Don Simpson and I tried to develop something, we didn't succeed. Tom Cruise took over, and he tried to develop something, and he didn't succeed. Now we're back at it," Jerry said.
"The concept is, basically, are the pilots obsolete because of drones. Cruise is going to show them that they're not obsolete. They're here to stay," he added.
