Top Gun: Maverick star Tom Cruise had some thoughtful words about Val Kilmer. In the sequel to the first film, Iceman is back and producers are teasing some emotional moments with Maverick. Cruise talked to Metro about working with his old friend again. The star reiterated his admiration for Kilmer and said that it was “incredibly unique.” The Iceman actor has been adamant about his desire to be in the follow-up before it was announced. Cruise has actually gone on record as lobbying for the Batman actor to have a place in whatever the Top Gun sequel was going to become. With Maverick being such a celebration of the first movie, it only makes sense to make certain characters pop back up in the story so many years later. Every review has said that fans of Top Gun will have a lot of emotions around this sequel. But, the most emotional moment in the film will probably be Cruise’s reunion with Kilmer.
