(Reuters) Tom Cruise, still feeling the need for speed, said in an interview that a sequel to his 1986 military action film "Top Gun" is "definitely happening."
Cruise, currently promoting his latest film "The Mummy," was speaking on the Wednesday edition of Australia's morning TV show "Sunrise" when he was asked by the host if rumors of "Top Gun 2" were true.
"It's true, it's true," he said, grinning as he added, "I'm going to start filming it probably in the next year. It's happening."
Cruise played the cocky pilot Maverick in "Top Gun," one of the top students in an U.S. training camp for elite military fighter pilots and engaged in a bitter rivalry with a fellow pilot played by Val Kilmer.
The Paramount Pictures film launched Cruise's career as a global action star and grossed more than $350 million globally, according to film tracker BoxOfficeMojo.com.
Representatives for Paramount Pictures declined to comment to Reuters on whether the studio is involved with the sequel.
"Top Gun" producer Jerry Bruckheimer tweeted a photo with Cruise last week, captioning it as the 31st anniversary of the opening day of "Top Gun."
In January 2016, Bruckheimer teased "Top Gun" fans by tweeting "Just got back from a weekend in New Orleans to see my old friend @TomCruise and discuss a little Top Gun 2."

This story sounds way too familiar. A rapper performs in an unfamiliar city, gets his chain snatched and said jewelry is held for ransom.
That's exactly what happened to Young 22 f.k.a. 22 Savage. The Baton Rouge artist was recently yanked off of the stage in San Antonio and had his bling taken.
The jewelry is now in the hands of a local artist by the name ofChris P, who says 22 can have it back if he coughs up$20,000.
If you're not in the rap game you're probably thinking 22's chain should have been insured and buying another one is an easy solution. But in this business your chain is like a trophy or a badge of honor. Having it taken could damage your career.
"That nigga done," P told Say Cheese TV, of 22's career. "He done 'cause he came in the game already. You took another man name [and] ran with it. And you was talking tough back and forth. Talking all this savage shit. Showing choppers and saying pull up. You doing all that and you come to San Antonio and get handled."

Check out this cut, "BBYGRL" that won't be on the album, but should hold fans down in the meantime. The track was produced by Yung Lil Big.
"I think it's an ode to our many moods and layers. I've got my own identities—a Black and Latina zen bruja, bisexual with both masculine and feminine energy," Nitty says of the song. "But it's really about creating a world where we can just be the multidimensional beings we are," says Nitty. "Plus I've been missing those girl power vibes the '90s gave us!"
