Joseph Kosinski is the front runner to direct "Top Gun 2" starring Tom Cruise for Paramount and Skydance Pictures.
While no official offer has yet been made, several sources told Variety that Kosinski was imminent.
Cruise and Kosinski have previously worked together on the 2013 sci-fi action film "Oblivion".
The 54-year-actor also recently confirmed to a British talk show that the sequel was moving forward and would hopefully shoot at the start of next year.
