According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film, helmed by the same team behind Top Gun: Maverick, will be directed and produced by Joseph Kosinski and Jerry Bruckheimer respectively, with Ehren Kruger penning the screenplay. 

Tobias Menzies, known for his Emmy-winning role as Prince Philip in Netflix's The Crown, will take on an undisclosed role in the film. His impressive acting credits also include Starz's Outlander, HBO's Game of Thrones, and AMC's The Terror.
