Tom Cruise may be reprising his role in a sequel to the 1986 movie Top Gun.

The actor has reportedly been asked to take on his old role as cocky fighter-pilot Maverick, 22 years after the first film.

A source tells The Sun: "The idea is Maverick is at the Top Gun school as an instructor - and this time it is he who has to deal with a cocky new female pilot."
