Did you know that Kelly McGillis claims that she wasn’t asked to reprise her role from the original film in Top Gun: Maverick because she’s too out of shape and that Michael Ironside claims he wasn’t invited back because he’s not on good terms with producer Jerry Bruckheimer? Top Gun: Maverick has recently hit theaters, and fans seem to be incredibly pleased with the long-awaited nostalgic sequel to the classic 1986 original. Despite the fact that the film has proven a success with fans, Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer ended up being the only actors from the original film to reprise their roles in the new one. This means that a large number of memorable characters from the original are missing from the sequel, including such major characters as Kelly McGillis’ Charlotte Blackwood, Tom Skerritt’s Mike “Viper” Metcalf, and Meg Ryan’s Carole Bradshaw.

Kelly McGillis claims that she wasn’t asked back to reprise her role from the original in Top Gun: Maverick because she’s no longer in good enough shape to play Tom Cruise’s romantic interest, even though they’re the same age. Meanwhile, Tom Skerritt likely wasn’t offered the chance to reprise his role in the new film because he’s simply too old.
Meg Ryan could’ve easily been fit into the new feature in at least a small cameo role, though the producers arguably didn’t think a cameo would’ve been worth bringing the actress out of the semi-retirement that she’s been in over the past few decades. Other cast members from the original Top Gun that weren’t asked to come back to reprise their roles in the sequel include Michael Ironside and Tim Robbins.
