Cruise confirmed the sequel was happening in May 2017 while on an Australian morning talk show. The next month, in June, he told "Access Hollywood" the sequel wouldn't be called "Top Gun 2."

“It’s called ‘Top Gun Maverick,’” he said. “I didn’t want a number. You don’t want a number. You don’t need a number.”
