Jennifer Connelly is ready to reprise her role as Penny in ‘Top Gun 3.’ She told ET at the ‘Dark Matter’ premiere in Los Angeles on April 29:
“I’ll be there. I’m ready. We had such a great time shooting [‘Top Gun: Maverick’]. It was fun.”
Connelly wants to reunite with Tom Cruise, Glen Powell, and Miles Teller in the sequel but still has no script:
“I haven’t seen anything. I had a casual chat with my friend, Joe Kosinski, who directed it, who I worked with twice now. I’m his biggest fan. I think he’s so great. [I talked to him] about the possibility of it, but I don’t know anything concrete.”
The Team Wants To Return As Well
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed the plans for ‘Top Gun 3’ to People in March. He said:
“We pitched Tom [Cruise] a story he liked. But he’s a very in-demand actor and he’s got a lot of movies lined up, so we have to wait and see.”
Teller and Powell also showed interest in a comeback but noted that it was ‘all up to Tom.’
News in January reported that ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ co-writer, Ehren Kruger, would return to write the script for the new film.
