Filmmaker Joseph Kosinski has finally revealed his narrative ideas for the impending Top Gun sequel.
Kosinski, who is presently promoting his latest picture F1 with Brad Pitt, will helm the next episode of the Tom Cruise franchise.
In a recent interview, Joseph said that the sequel will follow the titular fighter pilot through a "really existential crisis."
He concluded: "I think we've found a way to do it, not only in the scale of what we're proposing, but the idea itself of the story we're telling."
The 51-year-old filmmaker told GQ, "We're thinking much bigger than..." Maverick is experiencing an existential crisis, and it is far larger than himself.
Without spoiling anything, the Oblivion creator revealed, "It's an existential question that Maverick has to deal with, that would make Maverick feel small, I think, as a movie, compared to what we're talking about."
Top Gun: Maverick is a 2022 action-adventure film that stars Cruise, Miles Teller, Val Kilmer, Glen Powell, Monica Barbaro, and Jennifer Connelly.
