In the original 80s movie Anthony Edwards played Goose, co-pilot to Tom Cruise’s Maverick. Alas he was tragically killed, but not before he and his wife (Meg Ryan) had a little boy. In the next instalment of the franchise said child will be played by Teller, and he will be Maverick’s new co-pilot and protegee.
It was previously reported that Cruise had screen tested with Teller, Glen Powell and Nicholas Hoult for the role, before Teller was announced.
The movie will also star Val Kilmer, who will reprise his role from the original as Tom “Iceman” Kazansky
