Read our privacy policy Tom Cruise has opened up about his reunion with Val Kilmer in Top Gun: Maverick, years after their respective characters’ conflict turned into friendship in the original film. Recently, Top Gun: Maverick producer Jerry Bruckheimer also said Cruise insisted that Kilmer be a part of Top Gun: Maverick. “We all wanted him, but Tom was really adamant that if he’s going to make another Top Gun, Val had to be in it,” Bruckheimer told People magazine. Kilmer reprised the role of Iceman – the foe-turned-wingman of Cruise’s character Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchel – years after he was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014 and lost his voice after undergoing treatment.
