Top Gun was one of the highest-grossing classic films, but there’s no comparison to its sequel, Maverick. The continuation has exceeded all expectations, and the new installment with Tom Cruise has become an icon.
The fact that it was such a success wasn’t solely attributed to its captivating story and the high-voltage scenes featuring the pilots, but also to the incredible stellar cast, which included actors like Glen Powell and Miles Teller.
The young figures, who enter the list of the most talented actors of the new generation, are the ones who brought to life Lt. Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin and Lt. Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw in the drama directed by Joseph Kosinski.
Miles Teller talks about possible Top Gun 3
Miles Teller was one of the first to talk about his involvement in Top Gun, especially after Paramount confirmed that it was in development and production could soon begin with the original cast.
The actor, who plays Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw, confessed in July 2022 that he had discussions with Tom Cruise about the franchise’s third movie, which would again be directed by Joseph Kosinski.

“Fun things will be announced soon… but it was something confidential for me. I talk to [Joseph] Kosinski, Cruise, and Jerry [Bruckheimer] all the time. Things are happening, and they sound very exciting. I don’t know when I’ll be back…. I’m sure there will be a plane waiting for me at some point in the future’“.
