Played By Tom Cruise
As the most recognizable presence in the franchise, Tom Cruise's Maverick is the movie's most essential of the cast of Top Gun 2. Unsurprisingly, Tom Cruise performs Top Gun 2's stunts himself. Unlike his role in the original, however, the older Pete "Maverick" Mitchell has been tempered somewhat by his experiences in the Navy, yet retains the same free-spirited air that so endeared him to audiences in 1986. Away from the world of Top Gun, Tom Cruise is internationally recognized as one of th...
Played By Val Kilmer
Among the other Top Gun 2 returning cast members, this is one of the most emotional.

Played By Jon Hamm
One of Top Gun antagonist characters, Jon Hamm's Vice Admiral "Cyclone" Simpson is extremely skeptical of Maverick's dangerous and seemingly foolhardy approach – voicing his concerns before the final mission. However, he is eventually won over, appointing him to lead the team. Jon Hamm is a movie and TV veteran, still perhaps best known for the role of advertising guru Don Draper in the much-vaunted series Mad Men.
