Top Gun 2: How Maverick & Iceman's Friendship Has Evolved
Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski explains how Maverick and Iceman's friendship has evolved since the original film. Tom Cruise starred as Maverick in the first Top Gun, released in 1986. His character attended the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School (aka TOPGUN) where he flew with the best pilots in the Navy. This included Iceman, as played by Val Kilmer, who was characterized as the best of the best. While Maverick proved to be the most formidable in combat, Iceman's reputation and expertise led to his winning of the top spot for their class in the film.
