We are exactly 400 days away from Top Gun: Maverick screaming into movie theaters and the Iceman cometh. That’s right, everyone’s favorite blonde spiky-haired hotshot jet fighter pilot/shirtless volleyball player will be back in the saddle! Val Kilmer will be in Top Gun 2! Iceman can be our wingman anytime.

Last May, the 58-year-old Kilmer wore an Iceman t-shirt and shared an Instagram post that said: “friends said it’s official – #TOPGUN2 was announced today. I’m ready Tom- still got my top gun plaque! Still got the moves! Still got it!”
Previously, LT Tom “Iceman” Kazansky was not listed to be in the sequel, but that changed on Wednesday when Kilmer was added to the cast. Last December, Kilmer revealed that he had been battling cancer for two years.
Hopefully, Iceman is still his gum-smacking old self and trolls Maverick by telling him that the plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies room. Now we just need to wheel in 84-year-old Tom Skerritt to come back as Viper.
