Filmmaker Joseph Kosinski has finally shared the plot idea he has in his mind for the upcoming, Top Gun sequel.

Kosinski, who is currently busy promoting his new film F1 with Brad Pitt, will be directing the next installment of the Tom Cruise starrer.

In a latest interview, Joseph shared that the follow up film will feature the titular fighter pilot in “really existential crisis.”

He added, “I think we've found a way to do it, not only in the scale of what we're proposing, but the idea itself of the story we're telling.”

The 51-year-old director told GQ, “We're thinking much bigger than … It's a really existential crisis that Maverick has in this, and it's much bigger than himself.”

Without giving anything away, the Oblivion creator teased that, “It's an existential question that Maverick has to deal with, that would make Maverick feel small, I think, as a movie, compared to what we're talking about.”

Top Gun: Maverick is an action-adventure film of 2022 starring Cruise, Miles Teller, Val Kilmer, Glen Powell, Monica Barbaro and Jennifer Connelly.
