The actor said filming will begin within the next year, adding: “It’s definitely happening.”

Cruise has said in similar interviews that the film was in development and a strong possibility, but had not offered such clear confirmation.

The 1986 Reagan-era flyboy epic propelled Cruise to superstar status.

Jerry Bruckheimer, producer of the original, had been dropping hints too. He posted a picture of himself and Cruise on Saturday’s 31st anniversary of the original’s release.
