In a revealing interview, Christopher McQuarrie confirmed that Top Gun 3 has its story already mapped out. The veteran filmmaker said the concept clicked during an early meeting with co-writer Ehren Kruger and took shape almost instantly.
However, McQuarrie noted that creating emotion, not action, is what defines the success of such films. He shared that the emotional depth of a story is harder to achieve than crafting large-scale stunts.
Another exciting development is the Les Grossman spinoff, which remains in active discussions. McQuarrie hinted that the character’s return would be as wild and outrageous as ever, provided they find the right narrative.
