Joseph Kosinski, who previously directed Cruise in Oblivion, will helm the sequel, with Peter Craig, Justin Marks and Eric Warren Singer penning the script.
Following the news last week that Miles Teller, Nicholas Hoult, and Glen Powell were the frontrunners to co-star alongside Tom Cruise in Top Gun 2, Variety is reporting that Teller (Only the Brave, Whiplash) has been cast to play the coveted role of Goose’s adult son.
His young son has now grown up in the second installment, and Teller will be starring alongside Cruise and Val Kilmer in the sequel.
Those who have seen Top Gun remember Goose as being best friends and wingman to Tom Cruise’s Maverick who dies in an accident.
