“I’ve been having some conversations with him [Tom Cruise] about it,” Teller told Entertainment Tonight (opens in new tab). “We’ll see.” He added: “That would be great, but that’s all up to TC. It’s all up to Tom.”

Teller plays Lt. Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw in Top Gun: Maverick, the son of Goose (Anthony Edwards), Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Cruise)’s best friend in the first Top Gun film. The movie also stars Jennifer Connolly, Jon Hamm, and Glen Powell and saw Joseph Kosinski take over the director’s chair. The sequel came 36 years after the original movie, so the fact that a threequel is already being discussed is good news for those of us with a need for even more speed.

Already the biggest movie of Cruise’s career, with his biggest debut both domestically and internationally, Top Gun: Maverick is now the first time one of the actor’s films has crossed the $1 billion mark. 

As well as a potential threequel, Cruise also reportedly has the final say on how long Maverick stays on the big screen. Originally released on May 27, the theatrical window currently stands at 120 days. And, with such astronomical box office numbers, it’s no wonder Top Gun 2 seems here to stay in the multiplex.

In the legacy sequel, Kilmer’s Iceman – now an Admiral in the US Navy after graduating through Top Gun as Maverick’s wingman in the 1986 original – comes calling after Mav has doubts about leading his new cluster of recruits. Mirroring Kilmer’s own real-life health battles, Iceman struggles to speak, instead typing his pep talk to Maverick on his computer. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house – and that extends to Kilmer.

“I was very moved the first time I saw it. Almost 40 years is a long time for a reunion,” Kilmer tells USA Today (opens in new tab). “We laughed all day. Tom is great and surprisingly funny!”

Speaking on the Inside Total Film podcast, director Joseph Kosinski revealed that working with Kilmer was a “dream come true.”

“To do it with him playing Iceman and to be able to do it in a scene where he and Tom are together, two people who have so much respect for each other, and to have it be a reunion of not only two characters, but two men in real life… [It was a] really emotional day, a really memorable day on set,” Kosinski said.

Top Gun: Maverick was also a personal milestone for Tom Cruise. The follow-up to Top Gun is now Cruise’s biggest movie ever, and has raked in close to $550m at the box office.
