Top Gun 2 Trailer's Iceman Role Reveal Makes The First Movie Better
The latest Top Gun: Maverick trailer confirms Iceman's role, effectively making the original film even better. Joseph Kosinski's much-anticipated sequel comes almost four decades since Tony Scott's first Top Gun film in 1986. Top Gun: Maverick doesn't bring back many characters from its predecessor, but joining Tom Cruise as Pete «Maverick» Mitchell is Val Kilmer's iconic character Tom «Iceman» Kazansky whose role—while seemingly minor—has largely been kept a secret.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Top Gun: Maverick has been delayed multiple times. With the studio now sticking to its May 27 release date, a brand new trailer has been released shedding some light on what fans can expect from the long-awaited sequel.

There, he comes across Bradley «Rooster» Bradshaw (Miles Teller), the son of his former RIO, Nick «Goose» Bradshaw (Anthony Edwards). Aside from his connection to the Bradshaws, Top Gun: Maverick is also revisiting the character's friendship with Iceman.
