Top Gun's Goose Actor Praises Maverick Sequel Movie
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Top Gun: Maverick
Top Gun’s Goose actor, Anthony Edwards, has high praise for sequel movie Top Gun: Maverick. Edwards appeared as Nick “Goose” Bradshaw alongside Tom Cruise’s Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in Tony Scott’s original Top Gun, which saw the pair train at the US Navy’s Fighter Weapons School at the Naval Air Station in San Diego, California, aka TOPGUN. Bradshaw’s character tragically dies halfway through the original film during an exercise, leaving Maverick to sing “Great Balls of Fire” alone and fly without his wingman.
After spending nearly a decade in development and facing five COVID-19-related delays, Joseph Kosinski’s follow-up to Scott’s classic arrived in theaters last month. Top Gun: Maverick picks up with its eponymous aviator 36 years after the events of the original film. Due to his perpetual «need for speed,» the now-older Maverick Mitchell has dodged promotions to avoid being grounded. After spectacularly destroying a prototype plane at the beginning of the film, Maverick is sent back to TOPGUN at the behest of his old rival-turned-friend, Admiral Tom “Iceman” Kazansky (Val Kilmer). There, he must train a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a dangerous mission in enemy territory. This detachment includes the son of his late wingman in Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw (Miles Teller).
