Convincing Tom Cruise to don his signature aviators and slide into the cockpit paid off handsomely for producer Bruckheimer. “Top Gun: Maverick” proved to be a box-office phenomenon, grossing nearly $1.5 billion while scoring rapturous reviews. It was a sequel decades in the making, but the film pulled off appealing to both fans of the 1986 original and moviegoers who weren’t even alive when Cruise first declared his “need for speed.” Now Bruckheimer is back in the Axel Foley business with the forthcoming Netflix sequel to “Beverly Hills Cop.” He also faces the unenviable prospect of finding if there’s life left in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise sans Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow.

Bruckheimer said that while another "Pirates" script is moving ahead over Robbie's project, that doesn't mean the female-centric spinoff is no longer a possibility.“I think that that script will...
