All about the ancient tribes
The sequel to the hit 1986 film, ” Top Gun ” starring Tom Cruise was supposed to hit theaters in December. Paramount announced on Thursday that the film will now premiere July 2, 2021. Cruise is reprising his role as US Naval aviator Pete “Maverick” Mitchell.
Indeed, Cruise’s main Top Gun love interest Kelly McGillis is on the list of original movie actors who were not invited back (and McGillis has a pretty good idea why). Perhaps surprisingly, the one other big cast member who did make it on to the sequel’s roster is Kilmer, who is set to reprise the role of Iceman.

Thirty-four years after Top Gun originally flew into theaters, Tom Cruise is ready to return to his iconic role as fighter pilot Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in Top Gun: Maverick, this time with a new generation of aviators under his tutelage.

Val Kilmer was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014, and went public in 2017 after denying speculation that he was ill. In a 2017 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, however, Kilmer opened up more about the battle.
According to her, the reason why she wasn’t is because she no longer fits the mold of what a love interest should look like in a blockbuster Hollywood movie. “I’m old, and I’m fat, and I look age-appropriate for what my age is,” McGillis told the outlet. “And that is not what that whole scene is about.”
This resulted in his aircraft suffering a flameout of both engines ending in a fatal flat spin. While Maverick was able to safely eject, Goose didn’t; he hit the canopy on his way out with the intense impact causing his death.
Tom loves to do his own stunts, and he is fully capable of flying a private plane — but some of the fighter jets in the Top Gun sequel can only be piloted by aviators with military experience.
