Top Gun: Maverick is the sequel to the well-known 1986 film. Fans of all ages were overjoyed to see Tom Cruise’s character Pete “Maverick” Mitchell reprise the role and get a glimpse into his life as a successful aviator.

The unexpected announcement that Val Kilmer will reprise his renowned role as Tom “Iceman” Kazansky for the film only added to the excitement of thousands of fans!

Because of the actor’s recent health issues, his character’s appearance on screen meant even more to fans.

Val previously stated his enthusiasm to work with Tom Cruise again, saying that meeting Tom again “felt like no time had passed at all.”

Even though everyone was overjoyed to see Val Kilmer return for this long-awaited sequel, there were definitely two people who were overjoyed the most.

His children, Mercedes and Jack, were present. His daughter posted photos from the set with remarks. “Finally, I’m allowed to post these photos from the @topgunmovie set.” “Maverick is now free!”

In the shot, she and her brother Jack are wearing pilot caps, and her brother is wearing his aviator specs. Jack is also very similar to a young Val Kilmer.

The final shot portrayed a father and daughter hugging, possibly because Mercedes’s father was on set. It’s fantastic that his daughter and son were able to accompany him to the set and observe him at work.

Jack, his infant son, looks just like his famous father. The parallels are astonishing!

Val’s health has been poor in recent years, and some issues remain. We wish him good health despite the fact that he has been doing well.

It’s always adorable to watch a father’s relationship with his children. We wish Val Kilmer and his family the best of health!
