So Top Gun, the 32-year-old movie (faints) that made Tom Cruise a mega-star, centered on his character’s friendship with a fellow fighter pilot codenamed Goose, played by Anthony Edwards.
(Him or Jeremy Renner, and then say that Jeremy Renner is in line to inherit the franchise, but then two movies later you just write Jeremy Renner out entirely.)
THR says it is now down to three finalists for the role of Goose Jr. AKA Baby Goose: Nicholas Hoult, Glen Powell, and Miles Teller.
And in an emotional scene that I still weep openly about to this day, Goose is killed.
