Miles Teller revealed how he selected his call sign for Top Gun: Maverick. As the release date for the movie inches closer, the star sat down with Jimmy Kimmel to talk about his trip into the Danger Zone. Older fans are wondering how Goose’s kid will end up feeling on film. In Maverick, Teller plays Rooster, which might raise some eyebrows as far as call signs go. But, there’s a bit of a reason for the swap. Teller joked with the late night host, “I thought it was in the family of Goose? Like Goose and Rooster?” That’s a fun wrinkle and you can bet that a lot of the people filing into theaters to see the Top Gun sequel are going to see connections to the original movie. Bringing Tom Cruise back was a high priority for the production as you couldn’t do this story without his character. Hype is building for Maverick and small details like this are bound to increase things.
