Tom Cruise has posted a picture from the first day of filming on the eagerly-awaited Top Gun sequel.

The 55-year-old actor has finally revealed that the follow-up to the 1986 action classic is in production after more than 30 years.

Cruise took to social media to rally up excitement ahead of the forthcoming project on Thursday.

The photograph featured Cruise looking off into the distance at a plane while dressed in army uniform.

It also referenced the 1986 film’s iconic catchphrase “feel the need.”

He simply captioned the image: “#Day1.”

The American Made actor was quickly inundated with replies from excited fans.

One wrote: “Maverick back.. YESSSSSSS x”

Meanwhile another commented: “Make it good! I loved that movie when it came out, can’t count how many times my sis & I watched Top Gun loving that love scene and #takemybreathaway.”

A third tweeted: “Replying to @TomCruise @BRUCKHEIMERJB @Skydance

I can’t believe it’s finally happening!!! I’ve been waiting to see a sequel to Top Gun when I first saw the original movie for the first time when I was 13 years old!!

“Top Gun will ALWAYS be my favorite @TomCruise movie of ALL TIME! #TopGunMaverick #TopGun.”
