Iceman Is Back! Val Kilmer Joining Tom Cruise in ‘Top Gun’ Sequel

-

This will be good. Iceman is back as Val Kilmer is joining Tom Cruise in the upcoming Top Gun sequel, Top Gun: Maverick.

Best and Worst Movie Remakes

In the 1986 original, Kilmer played Tom Kazanasky, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell’s (Cruise) rival. In April 2017, Kilmer hinted that he might be reprising his role during a Reddit AMA. “Hell yes.  What a hoot it will be…” he wrote to one fan. (In April 2017, Kilmer also confirmed on Reddit that he was on the mend after battling cancer.)

Kilmer often posts about his famous role on Instagram. In May 2017, he wore a shirt featuring his character, which read “Cool as Ice.”

Costars Reunited

Additionally, he shared a throwback pic of his character during the volleyball scene. “Beach volleyball with the #Iceman. #valkilmer #topgun #80s,” he wrote at the time.

Back in 2015, Skydance CEO David Ellison teased to Collider that “there may be a volleyball scene” again in a new film.

“It’s really exploring the end of an era of dogfighting and fighter pilots and what that culture is today are all fun things that we’re gonna get to dive into in this movie,” he said. “There’s gonna be jets, very fast jets. There’s gonna be an aircraft carrier, maybe two – and a wide range of jets.

Tom Cruise's Ageless Face

Cruise, however, didn’t officially confirm a second movie until last year. “It’s not going to be called Top Gun 2,” he told Access Hollywood. “I didn’t want a number. You don’t need a number.” Late last month, he revealed the first photo of the film. “#Day1,” he captioned it via Instagram.

Top Gun also starred Kelly McGillis, Anthony Edwards and Meg Ryan.

Listen on Spotify to Getting Real With The Housewives for the most up to date Housewives news and exclusive interviews It’s been a rough couple of years for Luann de Lesseps — but she’s ready to put that behind her on season 12 of The Real Housewives of New York City . Luann de Lesseps’ Ups and Downs: A Timeline of the 'RHONY' Star’s Struggles “This season, for me, is about redemption. After what I’d been through the last couple years — which has been hell — and then, before that, divorce, I just feel like this is the season where you get to see me shine,” the reality star, 54, says on the latest episode of the “Getting Real With the Housewives” podcast. “I thought I could shine last season. I just couldn’t because there was just so much that the women didn’t understand about me and what I was going through.” She explains that last season the cast thought she was “being narcissistic,” but it was harder than they thought, not drinking with them when she was on probation.
