Tom Cruise prepares for Top Gun 2 as he trains to fly a helicopter

55-year-old Tom Cruise is preparing for his role in Top Gun 2. Cruise has been training in helicopter driving in the UK and was recently photographed practicing his skills in the co-pilot seat of a helicopter. The news of Top Gun 2 being approved for filming was announced by Tom Cruise during the promotion of The Mummy.

After so many years, can this sequel stand out by relying on its emotions?

According to the British Daily Mail, Cruise had medical staff, firefighters and ambulances in place during his training to ensure that nothing could go wrong, which shows that the crew took his training very seriously. It is said that there are also scenes of riding a motorcycle and playing volleyball in this film, which may be a piece of cake for Tom Cruise, who always works hard on his scenes. Cruise does not like to rely too much on a stunt double when acting, and even the difficult scene of stealing a plane with bare hands in Mission Impossible 5 was done by himself.

Joseph Kosinski will direct the film, and Jerry Bruckheimer will also produce it. Val Kilmer is eager to continue playing "Iceman", and Anthony Edwards also joked about wanting to return in the "Knockknock Bear" reality show, but these rumors have not been officially confirmed.

According to Tom Cruise, Harold Fatemeier will compose the music for the film. The film is scheduled to be released on July 12, 2019, and may officially start shooting next year.
