Top Gun: Maverick New Cast & Returning Character Guide
Warning: Contains potential SPOILERS for Top Gun: Maverick
36 years after its illustrious predecessor, Top Gun: Maverick reignites the Top Gun saga with a raft of recurring and original characters. While the return of star Tom Cruise to one of his most recognizable roles has certainly stolen the headlines, Top Gun: Maverick boasts an incredible array of talent in every scene. Arguably, one of the movie's greatest strengths stems from the fact that Cruise's legacy provides a perfect counterweight to many unfamiliar yet instantly iconic faces.
Top Gun: Maverick follows Pete «Maverick» Mitchell as he attempts to train a new batch of Top Gun recruits for a dangerous military mission. Having spent the previous three decades deliberately avoiding promotion in order to continue flying, Maverick is viewed with skepticism by his superiors, as well as those he is supposed to be training. While he is eventually able to win over his new charges – including Rooster, the son of his old wingman Goose – a mission to destroy a uranium enrichment facility proves more precarious than even Maverick could have anticipated, placing himself and his fellow aviators right in the firing line.
