Just last week it was reported that Paramount and Skydance were eyeing a trio of actors to potentially play a key role opposite Tom Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick: Miles Teller, Glen Powell and Nicholas Hoult were all in the running for the part of Goose’s son, and it looks like the powers that be have already selected Cruise’s co-pilot.
Per Variety, Miles Teller will play the son of Anthony Edwards’ Goose in the long-developing Top Gun sequel.
Top Gun: Maverick will bring Cruise & Co. into the modern age, exploring a fighter pilot’s place in a world that increasingly relies on drone technology.
In addition to Top Gun: Maverick, Teller also stars in the upcoming Amazon series Too Old to Die Young, created by Nicolas Winding Refn and acclaimed graphic novelist Ed Brubaker.
