Val Kilmer is set to return alongside Tom Cruise in Top Gun 2, which recently kicked off production.
It was hard to imagine a scenario in which a sequel to Top Gun actually took place without Kilmer reprising his role as Tom “Iceman” Kazansky, who was the primary rival to Cruise in the original, but up until now, his inclusion was no guarantee.
Top Gun was released in 1986 and, in addition to making a true superstar out of Tom Cruise, it was a tremendous box office hit.
Full plot details for the sequel, officially titled Top Gun 2: Maverick, are being kept under wraps.
