Top Gun: Maverick Has Jon Cryer Calling For A Hot Shots! Part 3
Top Gun: Maverickcontinues to break records and wow audiences worldwide, and one of those audience members is Jon Cryer, who starred in 1991's Hot Shots!, a parody of the original Top Gun. Hot Shots! follows Charlie Sheen as Topper Harley, an ace Navy fighter pilot who is called back to active duty for one last top-secret mission. Along with Sheen as Harley and Cryer as LT Jim «Wash Out» Pfaffenbach, the movie also starred Cary Elwes as LT Kent Gregory, Valeria Golino as Ramada Thompson, and Lloyd Bridges as RADM Thomas «Tug» Benson.
The movie did get one sequel already in the form of Hot Shots! Part Deux in 1993, though the followup would move away from its Top Gun roots to instead lampoon big-budget action shoot-em-ups like Commando and the Rambo movies. Cryer, however, didn't return for Part Deux. But now that Top Gun: Maverick continues to dominate at the box office, some are suggesting this would be the perfect time for a Hot Shots! threequel, namely Cryer himself.

He even floated the idea of reuniting with Sheen — who Cryer would also star alongside on Two and a Half Men - for a hypothetical «Part Tres.» Check out his tweet below.
