While the 35-year-old actor could not confirm the news, he revealed he’s spoken about it with Tom Cruise.
”That would be great, but that’s all up to T.C.,” Teller told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s all up to Tom.”
“I’ve been having some conversations with him about it. We’ll see.”
Teller joined the film with a handful of actors who appear in “Top Gun: Maverick” as a new class of pilots.

“Top Gun: Maverick” had an extremely long journey to get to the theaters. The sequel to the late Tony Scott’s “Top Gun,” which was released in 1986, was originally slated to open in the summer of 2020. Its marketing campaign technically started in July 2019.
The pandemic got in the way of those plans, however, and it was delayed several times. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and co-produced and co-financed by Skydance, the sequel reportedly cost $152 million to make.
