Back in the cockpit Tom Cruise teases Top Gun sequel

TOM CRUISE hinted he is ready to ‘feel the need’ once again after appearing to suggest filming has begun on the Top Gun sequel.

The 55-year-old star tweeted a picture of himself in character on a runway holding a helmet bearing his character’s name — Maverick — and captioned ‘#Day1’, suggesting it was the first day of shooting. ‘Feel the need’ was a catchphrase in the 1986 blockbuster that saw Cruise play elite US Navy pilot Lt Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell.

The sequel is thought to be titled Top Gun: Maverick and set in the world of drone technology.

It is believed to have a July 2019 release date.
