I would love to see Tom Cruise again as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in Top Gun 3, but he would be better off reprising another role in a different movie sequel. In a career spanning over four decades, Tom Cruise has starred in both standalone and sequel movies. When it comes to standalone films, he is probably best known for his work in Jerry Maguire, Minority Report, War of the Worlds, and a few other well-known films. While some of these standalone films have played a crucial role in defining Tom Cruise’s career, his biggest hits and flops have been sequels or reboots.
