Top Gun: Maverick star Jay Ellis addresses his return in the forthcoming Top Gun 3. The Top Gun franchise initially began in 1986 with the release of the Tony Scott-directed first part, which went on to become a hugely significant cultural phenomenon. In 2022, Tom Cruise, the franchise’s main protagonist, returned to reprise his iconic Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell role in Top Gun: Maverick along with a talented, fresh cast that included Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, and Jay Ellis.
