Top Gun 2 movie is a go! And Tom Cruise is nothing but excited about reprising his role in the highly anticipated sequel, according to world known producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

It's nearly three decades after Top Gun has been released in theaters and since then the much awaited sequel has been touted for, but to no avail.

Top Gun 2 movie almost made it theaters earlier, but was placed on hold on August 2012 following the death of director Tony Scott, which nearly scrapped the movie entirely.

Jerry Bruckheimer who will be producing Top Gun  2 movie has recently confirmed that the second installment to the blockbuster hit way back in 1986 has now resumed.

"We're at a point right now where everybody wants to make it," Bruckheimer revealed to IndieWire.

"For a while it was Tom was excited about it but the studio didn't want to commit or the studio was excited and Tom didn't want to do it. And that's been going on for 30 years. And now we're at a point where the studio is excited and Tom is excited," he added

He continued: "A lot of that has to do with Tony [Scott's] vision. He had a really exciting vision and he got everybody excited about it. That enthusiasm [has] carried forward."

Bruckheimer also revealed that Jack Reacher writer Christopher McQuarrie is no longer on board for the screenplay, as he is focusing on the fifth installment of another Tom Cruise film, Mission Impossible.

Another original cast who's rumored to reprise her role for the film is Kelly McGillis - leather-clad flight instructor Charlie Blackwood - who's orchestrating her comeback on her own terms.

 "For me it's kind of like starting over," she says. "It's slow, but it's really good. I don't feel compelled to be the same Kelly McGillis that I was in the Eighties. I've aged. I've grown. I have the opportunity to reintroduce myself as a character actress."

Would she return as Charlie, if asked? "Yeah, I'd cameo in it maybe!" she says, looking uncertain that Bruckheimer would still ask her.

The original Top Gun grossed more than $356 million at the worldwide box office during its release on 1986 that sky rocketed Cruise to fame and becoming one of Hollywood's biggest stars.
