Who is Val Kilmer?
Val Kilmer is the actor that plays Tom Kazansky (a.k.a Iceman).
Tom Kazansky (a.k.a: Iceman) was among one of the handfuls of Naval Aviators to be sent to TOPGUN.
Besides being known for his arrogant and smug personality, he was also the highest score holder of his batch in the TOPGUN academy, even higher than Maverick.
And only the best of the best naval flight officers got the chance to return to their operating units as instructors of the following batch. In this case, it was supposed to be Iceman who came back as an instructor.
Key Take-Aways From Top Gun 2 Maverick’s Newly Released Trailer:
Tom Cruise is back as Capt. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, and despite his age, he’s cockier than ever as an instructor to TOP GUN at the request of Tom Iceman Kazansky who is now a retired Navy admiral.- The trailer clearly shows bad blood between Maverick and Goose’s son Bradley Bradshaw, who still holds him accountable for his father’s death.
- A sad hint at Iceman’s death. The 21 rifle tribute at the funeral scene could mean that.
- Next-generation of Naval Striking Officers being taught by Maverick and an end of an era.
- A ton of air combat and dog fights were seen. The trailer showed a dog fight scene between US Navy’s Grumman F-14 Tomcat and the Russian Sukhoi Su-57. This could mean that the climactic build-up throughout the trailer was hinting at the ColdWar period. And if that’s true, it would be one heck of a ride.
