'Top Gun 2' Won't Include the ill-fated Goose from the Original
For fans of the classic original, a sequel is something to look forward to, at least opposed to seeing a remake, and while Tom Cruise will be back in his leading role, he's confirmed one character is no chance of returning.
"Goose won’t be coming back unfortunately… sorry," Cruise said in an interview.
Goose and Maverick were inseparable until they had to eject from their aircraft. Goose couldn't clear the planes canopy and died instantly. It seems that there's no chance of seeing him via flashback, and it's probably better that way.
Goose's death was a painful one to witness in the film, due in no small part to some top acting and a partnership that was electric.
