Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Tom Cruise is continuing to use his press tour for The Mummy to talk about the sequel to Top Gun that’s apparently actually happening. His latest bid to reignite interest came during an interview with Access Hollywood, where he explained that the follow-up, which may be directed by Joseph Kosinski, will not be called Top Gun 2, but rather Top Gun: Maverick, invoking the name of his character. “I didn’t want a number, do you know what I mean?” he said.
