While according to USA Today, Kilmer’s new autobiography I’m Your Huckleberry stated: “As far as the film’s plot goes, I’m sworn to secrecy.”
But he did admit that he begged Cruise and producers for his Iceman to feature in Top Gun 2.
After the sequel was greenly Kilmer began posting on social media wearing an Iceman T-shirt saying how he was ready to return.
The actor wrote: “As The Temptations sang in the heyday of Motown soul, ‘ain’t too proud to beg.’”

Now considering there has been no sign of Iceman in the Top Gun: Maverick trailers, some fans are wondering if Kilmer’s character has been killed off.
Maybe he will cameo in a death scene or even flashbacks where it’s made clear that he and Maverick have truly buried the hatchet?
Interestingly, Kilmer also revealed in his autobiography how he had no interest in starring in the original Top Gun.
He wrote: “I didn’t want the part. I didn’t care about the film. The story didn’t interest me.”
After being pressured by his agent to audition, he said: “I showed up looking the fool, or the goon.
“I wore oversize gonky Australian shorts in nausea green.
“I read the lines indifferently. And yet, amazingly, I was told I had the part. I felt more deflated than inflated.”
Top Gun: Maverick is released in UK cinemas on December 23, 2020.
