Cruise’s character Maverick faced-off against Kilmer’s Iceman in the 1986 original movie, and despite a well-publicized battle with throat cancer which has ravaged his ability to talk, Kilmer, 58, has made no secret of his desire to be included in the sequel.

Remembering the filming of the original, Kilmer said during a Reddit Ask Me Anything chat: “Tom was a sweetheart. We were all quite rowdy, me and all the real flyboys and the actors, so I actually felt a little sorry for him cause we all had time to play and date the cute extras and zoom around San Diego in muscle cars, but Tom was always in some scene and never got to play with us.”
