Those who have seen Top Gun remember Goose as being best friends and wingman to Tom Cruise’s Maverick who dies in an accident.
The announcement comes after it was recently confirmed that Val Kilmer will be reprising his role as Tom “Iceman” Kazansky.
The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road), Glen Powell (Scream Queens), and Miles Teller (Whiplash) are currently the frontrunners to play the son of Goose — played by Anthony Edwards in the first film — in Top Gun 2.
His young son has now grown up in the second installment, and Hoult, Powell, and Teller are at the top of the list to play him.
