In the first part, Maverick (Tom Cruise) and Iceman (Val Kilmer) were seen in an adversarial relationship, contending for top pilot status at the legendary military fight school. One of the famous lines from the movie was when Iceman says to Maverick “I don’t like you because you’re dangerous”.

Kilmer seems to be excited for reprising his famous character since the time Top Gun: Maverick was announced last year. He has written in his post “I’m ready Tom- still got my top gun plaque! Still got the moves! Still got it”.

Well, the Top Gun fans will be very excited to watch their favorite character coming back to the screen.
