On the Top Gun: Maverick set, Tom Cruise described how emotional his reunion with Val Kilmer was.
Kilmer co-starred with Cruise in the original Top Gun in 1986 and was diagnosed with cancer in 2015. Kilmer is cancer-free after enduring chemotherapy and two tracheotomies, but he speaks through a voice box.
In Maverick, when he was reunited with Cruise, his character, Tom “Iceman” Kazansky, was seen communicating through a computer due to an unidentified ailment.
