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. Reprising his role as Maverick's main rival from the original movie, Val Kilmer's Iceman wasn't always destined to appear in the Top Gun sequel. After an extensive Facebook campaign and the support of Cruise, Kilmer was finally confirmed in 2018. Unlike Maverick, Iceman has successfully risen through the ranks, becoming a four-star admiral in the intervening decades. Apart from his Top Gun character, Kilmer i...
Played By Miles Teller
Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw is the son of Maverick's deceased former wingman, original Top Gun character Goose. Bradley appeared briefly in the original, singing "Great Balls of Fire" alongside Maverick and Goose. While Rooster initially resents Maverick, blaming him for being supposedly held back in his career, the two eventually become close, with Rooster even saving Maverick during the movie's climactic raid. Fans might have expected Roosters mother Carole, played by Meg Ryan in the origina...

As the drama unfolds, Penny provides crucial advice for Maverick as he attempts to navigate his relationships with the cast of Maverick, especially Rooster. Though not technically a character from the original movie,Penny was mentioned in 1986's Top Gun. Jenn...
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. He has also recently appeared in the third season of The Morning Show and seas...

A complete guide to the cast and characters of Tom Cruise's long-awaited sequel Top Gun: Maverick.
- Sophie Collins
- Tom Cruise as Capt. Pete Mitchell – Call Sign “Maverick” Of course, Tom Cruise returns as the legendary Pete Mitchell - main character of both Top Gun films.
- Val Kilmer as Adm. Tom Kazansky – Call Sign "Iceman" Although Iceman and Maverick graduated alongside each other in Top Gun, they initially did not see eye-to-eye and butted heads a few times.
- Miles Teller as Lt. Bradley Bradshaw – Call Sign "Rooster" Top Gun: Maverick introduces us to Rooster, the son of Goose and Carole (Meg Ryan in the first film), and there’s no denying that his relationship with Maverick is full of tension.
- Jennifer Connelly as Penny Benjamin. Although Penny did not make an appearance in the first Top Gun movie, she was referenced by name as Maverick's old girlfriend, and we see them reunite in Top Gun: Maverick, where their relationship is beautifully rekindled during his time back, and hopefully this time it will last.
