Who is iceman in top gun

There's barely anything known about Powell's role in the movie; Paramount hasn't even revealed his full name yet. Couple that with the fact that he bears a striking resemblance to Kazansky in the original Top Gun , the theory seems plausible.

Assuming that this is the case, then Maverick will be teaching the sons of two of his former flying partners — the other one being Rooster. If Iceman dies, Mitchell would feel the urge to step in and be the father figure to both the younger Bradshaw and Kazansky. This would be a good way to explore this side of the character even though he doesn't seem to have a biological child of his own.

Maybe, this could even convince Maverick to give up his penchant to push the limits when it comes to flying as looking out for the young men could be his new sense of purpose. It's worth noting that trailers have yet to physically show Iceman, although it's confirmed that Kilmer is back for the sequel.

While Iceman's return would definitely add to the nostalgia factor in Top Gun: Maverick , there's also likely a clear narrative need for him based on what's known about the movie's arc. Considering his personal ties to Mitchell, not to mention his rumored relationship with Hangman, his involvement makes sense, even if that means that the blockbuster ultimately sees his death. Iceman pulled up and away forcing Maverick to fly through his jet wash.

The dirty air stalled Maverick's jet engines and sent him into a flat spin. Maverick was able to eject safely, however his R. O, Goose , was killed. Iceman eventually graduated at the top of his class after Maverick nearly dropped out.

The two once again went into the air on their first official mission together and Maverick saved Iceman from several enemy MiGs , allowing Iceman to grant Maverick his respect. At the end of the film his last and famous line "You can be my wingman anytime," was delivered. He has achieved the rank of Admiral and is serving as the Chief of Naval Operations. The Top Gun reunion between Cruise and Kilmer was "very emotional.
