Val Kilmer reacts to TopGunMaverick latest trailer showing the return of his character Tom 'Iceman' Kazansky.
Val Kilmer reacts to Top Gun: Maverick's latest trailer which finally reveals Iceman. After more than three decades, Tony Scott's Top Gun is finally getting a follow-up from Joseph Kosinski. The sequel will see Tom Cruise reprising Pete"Maverick" Mitchell, who is now a Naval captain and instructor in the titular flying school. But while Top Gun: Maverick isn't bringing back many characters from the original film, it will also see Kilmer return as Iceman.
Top Gun's story begins when Maverick and his RIO, Nick"Goose" Bradshaw , are sent to train at the US Navy's Fighter Weapons School in San Diego called TOPGUN where they join other elite pilots. That includes Iceman, who becomes Maverick's rival; throughout the whole training period, the pair were locked in an intense competition to be the best in their batch. Ultimately, Kazansky emerged the winner after Mitchell suffered an emotional breakdown when Goose accidentally died.
Despite the revelation, still very little is known about Kilmer's role in Top Gun: Maverick. In fact, the trailer didn't feature any physical appearance from him. He's only referenced by Jon Hamm's Vice Admiral Cyclone. Fans can expect him to ultimately show up, however.
The studio can use Top Gun: Maverick as a launching pad for a brand new franchise. While it took Paramount almost four decades to make the sequel, this time, they could more actively develop the universe as Cruise and Kilmer essentially pass the baton to their contemporaries such as Rooster and Glen Powell's Hangman. From there, the film series can thrive moving forward, with the old guards acting as mentors to those who come after them.
