Tom Cruise calls reuniting with Val Kilmer for TopGunMaverick an 'emotional' experience.
With a multitude of touching and nostalgic callbacks combined with a new thrilling story centered around family and redemption, Joseph Kosinski’s Top Gun: Maverick soared far beyond audiences’ expectations. It’s no secret that one of the most emotional reunions was between Tom Cruise’s Pete “Maverick” Mitchell and Val Kilmer’s Tom “Iceman” Kazansky.
During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Cruise revealed that what audiences saw play out between the two actors on screen was very real as the reunion between him and longtime friend Kilmer, was “pretty emotional” for both parties. “I’ve known Val for decades,” Cruise said, adding that he was so happy that the “powerful actor” signed on to step back into his iconic role of Iceman for the long-coming sequel.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Picking up decades after we first revved our engines and sped down the highway to the danger zone, Maverick follows Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell , who still holds the title of Captain and test pilot even though the rest of his TOPGUN class have zoomed on to more powerful positions. On Kazansky’s recommendation, Mitchell is sent to the training school to lead a group of new recruits on an incredibly dangerous mission.
