Great balls of fire! Tom Cruise<\/strong><\/a> wants Shakira<\/strong><\/a> to contribute a song to the Top Gun 3 soundtrack, a source tells the National Enquirer.<\/p>\n

The third installment of the action franchise is officially in the works<\/a>, Jerry Bruckheimer<\/strong> announced in April during Paramount\u2019s CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas, per Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike with his recruitment of Lady Gaga<\/strong><\/a> to contribute to the soundtrack of Top Gun: Maverick, Tom has been eyeing Shakira to provide music for the third film and they have an ongoing dialogue about that,\u201d reveals the source. \u201cHe wants to hear her ideas and concepts.\u201d<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be the first time Shakira, 49, has been called upon to deliver a major moment.<\/p>\n

The \u201cShe Wolf\u201d singer has provided not one, but two official World Cup anthems: 2010\u2019s \u201cWaka Waka (This Time for Africa)\u201d and this year\u2019s \u201cDai Dai\u201d with Burna Boy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cStill, the Top Gun franchise is its own animal,\u201d says the source. \u201cIf Shakira takes up this challenge, Tom and the other producers are expecting nothing short of a massive hit song from her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaga\u2019s power ballad, \u201cHold My Hand,\u201d received a string of nominations in 2023, including Best Original Song at the Oscars and Best Song Written for Visual Media at the Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s no simple task, but almost nothing associated with Tom<\/a> or the Top Gun universe ever is,\u201d says the source, adding that the action star, 63, is \u201cobsessed with topping the incredible business that Maverick did four years ago, and he\u2019s not going to let up<\/a> until he\u2019s confident that he has.\u201d<\/p>\n
