So much about the original
Top Gun is iconic. Tom Cruise soaring in the skies in his fighter jet and revving on tarmac on his motorbike. The inexplicable beach volleyball. The near-constant magic-hour sunsets. Every single song on the soundtrack. And another standout is the moustache belonging to Anthony Edwards’ Nick ‘Goose’ Bradshaw (RIP), Maverick’s beloved wingman with a pure heart and a fuzzy upper lip. In the upcoming
Top Gun: Maverick, not only is Cruise back as Maverick – but his new generation of recruits includes
Whiplash star Miles Teller as Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw, none other than Goose’s son (note: Gosling?).
