In 2016, Cruise addressed rumors about a sequel on the U.K.'s "The Graham Norton Show." At the time, when host Norton asked, Cruise said "no." When pressed further and asked about a tweet teasing "Top Gun 2" from "Top Gun" producer Jerry Bruckheimer, he said, "Yes, we're discussing it."
It looks like the discussions went well.
