Miles Teller Gives Update on Top Gun 3 and Reveals His “One Month Per Ab” Demand for Tom Cruise

Top Gun 3: Miles Teller Reveals His Demands for Tom Cruise, Awaiting Superstars’ Schedules

After the immense success of Top Gun: Maverick in 2022, fans have eagerly awaited news about Top Gun 3. The development of the next installment is well underway, but its production timeline is largely dependent on the schedules of the film’s lead star, Tom Cruise. Jerry Bruckheimer, the renowned producer of the Top Gun franchise, confirmed that the script for the third film is currently being worked on, but no official start date for filming has been set.

One of the main factors influencing the film’s production is Tom Cruise’s packed schedule. The actor is heavily involved in the filming of Mission: Impossible 8, which means Top Gun 3 cannot begin until Cruise is available. Bruckheimer mentioned that the production of the film will ultimately depend on when Cruise is ready to return to the role of Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell.

In addition to the challenges posed by Cruise’s availability, Miles Teller, who plays Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw in Top Gun: Maverick, has revealed his own condition for returning to the role in Top Gun 3. Teller stated that he would need at least six months to physically prepare for the role, making it a “non-negotiable” request. He humorously noted that he would need “one month per ab” to train effectively for the intense physical demands of the film. This requirement highlights Teller’s commitment to maintaining the same level of physicality he brought to his character in the second installment.

Director Joseph Kosinski also weighed in on the status of Top Gun 3, emphasizing that the team is eager to continue the story but wants to ensure that the film will meet the high standards set by its predecessor. Kosinski remarked that they are in no rush to make the film unless all the elements—most importantly, the timing with Cruise—align perfectly. He expressed his desire to bring fresh ideas to the table while honoring what made the previous film a global success, ensuring that the third installment will be both exciting and meaningful for the audience.

While much remains uncertain, these updates suggest that fans will have to be patient as the filmmakers work through the logistical challenges. The eventual return of Tom Cruise and the continuation of Teller’s Rooster are key factors in making Top Gun 3 a reality. For now, the wait continues, but fans can rest assured that when the time is right, the next chapter of Top Gun will be ready to soar.
