Top Gun 2 Cast Adds Westworld And Mad Men Stars

<p>Production continues on <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/top-gun-2-starts-production-tom-cruise-reveals-tea/1100-6459314/"><em>Top Gun: Maverick</em></a>, the sequel to the classic 1986 blockbuster<em> Top Gun</em>, in which Tom Cruise will play ace fighter pilot Pete "Maverick" Mitchell once more. Back in June, it was reported that <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/top-gun-2-another-classic-original-character-joins/1100-6459477/">Val Kilmer</a> will reprise the role of Tom "Iceman" Kazansky, and now a couple more big names have been added to the cast.</p><p>As reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2018/film/news/jon-hamm-ed-harris-tom-cruise-top-gun-maverick-1202915007/">Variety</a>, Jon Hamm and Ed Harris will appear in <em>Maverick</em>. Hamm is best known for his role of Don Draper in <em>Mad Men</em>, as well as movies such as <em>Bridesmaids</em> and <em>Baby Driver</em>. Harris is one of the main stars of HBO's <em>Westworld</em> and has also recently appeared in the likes of <em>Mother!</em> and <em>Geostorm</em>. In addition, the movie will feature Miles Teller (<em>Whiplash</em>, <em>The Fantastic Fou</em>r) as the son of the original movie's Goose.</p><p><em>Top Gun: Maverick</em> is directed by Joseph Kosinski, who previously worked with Cruise on the 2014 sci-fi movie <em>Oblivion</em>. This won't be the first time Kosinski has brought a popular '80s movie property back to the big screen either; he also directed the <em>Tron</em> sequel <em>Tron Legacy</em> in 2010.</p><p>In an interview with <a href="https://redirect.viglink.com/?format=go&amp;jsonp=vglnk_153504037241713&amp;key=b9014669b87be145294606ccea8870ce&amp;libId=jl6reice01029lk1000DL3tto1m19&amp;loc=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/top-gun-2-another-classic-original-character-joins/1100-6459477/&amp;v=1&amp;out=http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/894387-exclusive-joseph-kosinski-talks-top-gun-2-and-tron-3&amp;ref=https://www.google.co.uk/&amp;title=Top Gun 2: Another Classic Original Character Joins The Movie's Cast - GameSpot&amp;txt= comingsoon.net">comingsoon.net</a> last year, Kosinski spoke about what would set <em>Top Gun: Maverick</em> apart from the original movie. "The Navy is very different now than it was in 1986," he explained. "Back then, they hadn't been in any war for 15 or 20 years at that point. The tone of that movie and what those guys were doing was very different.</p><p>"Now, here in 2017, the Navy's been at war for 20 years. It's just a different world now, so you can't remake the first movie. It has to adapt. That being said, I certainly want to recreate the experience of that movie, which gives you a front-seat into the world of Naval aviation and what it's like to be in a fighter jet. The approach is going to be appropriate for the times we live in."</p><p><em>Top Gun</em> was released in May 1986. It went on become the highest grossing film of that year, earning $353 million worldwide from a budget of just $15 million. <em>Top Gun: Maverick</em> hits theaters on July 12, 2019.</p>
