Kilmer only appears in Top Gun: Maverick in one scene, though his presence is felt throughout the film (it’s revealed at one point that his character is the reason Tom Cruise recruits Pete “Maverick” Mitchell to return to Top Gun but also the one who gets him out of trouble). ). The film also shows that the friendship between Maverick and Iceman has continued over the years, but the film also builds on Kilmer’s health issues in the film’s plot. Kilmer was previously diagnosed with throat cancer and was treated successfully a few years ago. As a result, the actions were performed on the windpipe, but the actor does not have much voice anymore, which is another aspect of his personal life integrated into the character for the sequel.
Iceman mostly talks through a computer in the scene, but eventually convinces Pete to return to Top Gun and prepare the recruits for a very dangerous mission at the heart of the film’s plot. Sadly, it wasn’t long after this sequence that the Snowman went off screen. The defector attends the funeral along with the other Top Gun recruits as well. This was a big moment not only for fans around the world but for producer/star Tom Cruise.

We all wanted it, but Tom was really adamant that if he was going to make another Top Gun, Val had to be in it. [Kilmer is] He’s a good actor, and he’s a good individual. We had such a great time the first time around and wanted to get some gang together again.”
