Whiplash star Miles Teller has been tapped to play Goose's son and Maverick's new protege in the long-in-the-works Top Gun sequel. The 31-year-old actor will star alongside Tom Cruise, who reprises his role as the hotshot fighter pilot Pete Maverick Mitchell from the 1986 hit, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In the original feature by Tony Scott, the plot sets into motion when Maverick blames himself after his wingman, Nick Goose. Bradshaw (Anthony Edwards), dies during a jet wash. How he overcomes his guilt and the resultant fear of flying lies at the core of the story.
