Mission: Impossible star Tom Cruise has confirmed he is involved in the forthcoming Top Gun sequel.

Plans for a follow-up to the hit 1986 film were announced last year, but it was not known if and how much the star would be involved.

Speaking to MTV, Cruise said he was in talks with director Tony Scott and would go ahead provided they could "find a story that we all want to do".

"I hope we can figure this out to do it again," he said.

Scott directed Cruise in the first Top Gun film, which propelled him to fame as fighter pilot Maverick.

The Jerry Bruckheimer-produced film, which also starred Kelly McGillis and Val Kilmer, was nominated for four Oscars and won the best song Academy Award for Take My Breath Away.

Cruise said: "I said to Tony, I want to make another movie with him. He and I haven't made a film since Days Of Thunder."

"Tony and I and Jerry, we never thought that we would do it again. Then they started to come to us with these ideas and I thought, wow, that would be what we could do now.

"We all want to make a film that is in the same kind of tone as the other one and shoot it in the same way as we shot Top Gun," he added.

It had been rumoured that Cruise's character would return in the sequel as an instructor for a new class of Top Gun recruits.

But when asked what his role would be in a new film, the actor said: "I don't know - we're working on it."

Cruise will next be seen on screen in a fourth Mission: Impossible film, Ghost Protocol.

Back in the 80s, Konami released a video game for the NES based on Top Gun, and it was popular enough to have a sequel ...

Many people got confused over this thinking there was an actual film sequel.  Just like 'The Goonies II' for the NES, Konami tricked us.  They should base the film off this game just to ease all the fans that got duped back in the day

Back in 1987, After Burner II made everyone look for the original (which was released only in limited numbers in Japan, effectively as a prototype.)

The voice sample "Hit the brakes, he'll fly right by..." never appeared in the game, but after several "Break left" and "break right" samples, when I was going fast enough to be able to slow down (the player in the video almost gets the kill at 2:40-2:45, but is performing a speedrun, and the kill doesn't matter), I distinctly remember hearing a certain maverick pilot (from a certain 1986 movie) telling me exactly what I needed to do to get that annoying fighter off my back.

Which is one of the reasons I hold Yu Suzuki as second only to Shigeru Miyamoto in the history of Japanese coin-op gaming history.
