TopGunMaverick director Joseph Kosinski teases how Iceman and Maverick's friendship has evolved over the years: 'That friendship has remained, and Iceman's always looked out for Maverick.'
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 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.
We like the idea that Iceman, as you remember, won the Top Gun trophy in 1986. In fact, you see it on the wall in that scene. And he stayed in the Navy and continued his way up the ranks. Now, he's basically as high as you can go, whereas Maverick stayed a captain. But that friendship has remained, and Iceman's always looked out for Maverick, as he's gotten in trouble along the way - as he does.
