‘Miles movie doing really well, Monica getting nominated for an Oscar,’ he shares as examples, referring to costars Miles Teller and Monica Barbaro, respectively, then also giving shout outs to Lewis Pullman and Danny Ramirez’s latest projects.’

Everybody is getting to do all these really wonderful, cool things, so it’s a lot of congratulations,’ Powell emphasises.

Earlier this year, in May, while appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast in May, Christopher McQuarrie, a writer-producer of Top Gun: Maverick, also confirmed that a third Top Gun film is in the works. 

However, Powell admits there is nothing secretor exclusive to share from the Top Gun group.

‘I wish. I wish I had something. I literally have nothing,’ he says. ‘There has been no new dialogue on that text chain.’
