Top Gun Cast Then & Now: 40 Years Later (1986-2026)

The Top Gun (1986) cast then and now — Maverick, Charlie, Iceman, Goose, Carole, Viper, Jester, Slider, Merlin and the rest of the TOPGUN class, plus the filmmakers and musicians behind the soundtrack of a generation, reunited 40 years later. Some are sadly no longer with us and are remembered here — including Val Kilmer and James Tolkan — others are still flying high today.
