Top Gun: Maverick: Who will play Goose’s son?

WE NOW know who is set to play Goose’s son in the Top Gun sequel which is due out in July next year.

IT’S been revealed who will play Goose’s son in the Top Gun sequel.

Miles Teller, who has starred in Whiplash, War Dogs and Fantastic Four, has landed the coveted role in Top Gun: Maverick which is due to be released in July 2019.

Teller reportedly beat out X-Men star Nicholas Hoult and Scream Queens star Glen Powell for the role, with the latter joking about the casting news on Twitter.

“I’m taking down all the Tom Cruise posters in my bedroom,” Powell tweeted. “Maybe, I’ll leave one. Two for symmetry. Okay, the posters are staying.”

Tom Cruise (Maverick) and Val Kilmer (Iceman) are set to reprise their roles in the sequel with Cruise telling Access Hollywood that the upcoming film will have “the same tone that we had with the first one”.

“Stylistically it’s gonna be the same,” he said. “We’re gonna have the same score from Harold Faltermeyer. Aviators are back.

Goose was played by Anthony Edwards. The character died in the original movie.

“The need for speed, we’re gonna have big machines. It’s gonna be a competition film like the first one, and it’s gonna be in the same vein, the same tone as the first one, but a progression for Maverick.”

Filming for Top Gun: Maverick is currently under way.
