Top Gun 3 Is in the Works, and the Cast’s Text Chain Is Buzzing!

It’s likely that many actors maintain a friendly rapport during filming of major productions. However, what I didn’t realize was how some friendships could endure beyond the projects themselves. For instance, it was recently revealed that the Oppenhomies still keep in touch through text messages. Interestingly enough, this holds true for the cast of Top Gun: Maverick as well.

Actor Jay Ellis, featured in the Netflix comedy series “Running Point“, also appeared as “Payback” in “Top Gun: Maverick“. In an interview with People, he shared that during filming of “Maverick“, the cast initiated a group text conversation. Remarkably, this chat thread remains active even now, and given the recent successes of the cast members, it has been particularly bustling. Ellis mentioned…

We’re all connected through text messages, and it seems as if we’re all sharing exciting updates at the same time. For instance, Miles released The Gorge recently; Glen is occupied with film work, while away from set. Monica received an Oscar nomination, and Danny Ramirez’s Captain America debut also happened around the same time.

It’s impressive that, even after all these years, the team from “Top Gun: Maverick” continues to communicate via text messages and congratulate each other on major achievements. This is strikingly similar to Jack Quaid’s recent remarks about the cast of “Oppenheimer,” who affectionately refer to themselves as the Oppenheimies. It remains unknown if the “Maverick” team has a cute nickname for themselves.

It remains undecided whether Tom Cruise is associated with this particular group or if the movie’s leading man isn’t involved at all. Given his extensive involvement in the Mission: Impossible film series over the past few years, it’s possible that he might not be a consistent member, even if he is part of the group.

It’s highly probable that the text messaging tool will prove useful in the days ahead. Meanwhile, it’s been confirmed that “Top Gun 3” is being worked on behind the scenes, although details about the script and potential returning characters other than Tom Cruise’s Maverick are scarce at this point. However, considering the speed at which production might progress for the upcoming film, it seems likely that many of the “Maverick” cast members will reprise their roles if the movie doesn’t take an excessive amount of time to produce.

It’s possible that it could take many years for Top Gun 3 to come to fruition, given the past attempts to create a sequel that didn’t pan out due to various factors. However, with the massive success of Maverick, everyone involved will be eager to bring the film to life. It’s hard to find a stronger motivator for making a movie than substantial profits.

Regardless, it doesn’t imply that Top Gun 3 won’t turn out to be a fantastic film. Given the close bond among the Maverick cast, it’s likely they often discuss the sequel amongst themselves. If it does come to fruition, we can expect some fresh faces to join in the conversation as well.
