Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Connelly is back with two of the most anticipated projects of 2020: The long-awaited TNT adaptation of, which premieres this Sunday, and the now-delayed, the sequel to Tom Cruise’s 1986 smash hit .
“Top Gun: Maverick” producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed that Val Kilmer, who played Iceman in the original film, will be returning for the highly anticipated sequel. He’ll join Tom Cruise, who is dusting off the role that made him famous in 1986, for a sequel that sees Maverick training a group of young, fresh top gun pilots, including his old flight buddy Goose’s son.
Home Movies: The actor is having a moment, and no films nail his yin and yang better than Martha Coolidge's 1985 brainiac comedy and the 2003 drama in which he played porn star John Holmes.
Val Kilmer is finally coming clean about one of his most famous one-off Hollywood roles that left many wondering why he didn’t continue. The 60-year-old starred in the 1995 film “Batman Forever” as the secretive Bruce Wayne and opened up about his decision to step back from playing the caped crusader after just a single film.

Val Kilmer has a theory regarding his throat cancer treatments. In 2014, Kilmer was told by doctors that he had throat cancer after finding a lump in his throat and waking up in pools of blood, according to the New York Times.
Val Kilmer‘s kids were the sole reason behind his decision to seek traditional cancer treatment. In an interview with The New York Times, the 60-year-old actor discusses how he initially planned to treat his throat cancer through his Christian Science faith.

In his book, Val admits that he wanted to kiss Angelina Jolie before they starred in the 2004 film Alexander, and he “couldn‘t wait to kiss her” when they were on set together. At the time, the Hollywood star had recently separated from her second husband, Billy Bob Thornton.
Val Kilmer is telling all in his new memoir, I’m A Huckleberry — including how he met Angelina Jolie, and what it was like working with her on the film, Alexander. “I always say, she’s like other women and other superstars, but just more,” Val wrote. “More gorgeous. More wise. More tragic. More magic. More grounded. Is it worth it? Worth knowing people who require weeks of effort to understand even a little? Yes.”
