in part because most of its principal actors has gone on to star in lucrative ventures. Powell, who played Hangman in Top Gun 2, has had a captivating few months.

Powell and Cruise pose for the camera with their popcorn buckets, ready for the movie. Powell effectively connects Top Gun: Maverick and Twisters by calling Cruise his "wingman" who follows him "into the storm."

Powell's Hangman is a new character in Top Gun: Maverick, unlike Miles Teller's Rooster, who is Goose's son. He had an attitude like Tom Kazansky's, thus some thought he was Iceman's son.

The sequel didn't explain his roots. Hangman's return in Top Gun 3 is anticipated because Powell's performance has made him a cult favourite despite having no connection to the Top Gun franchise's legacy characters.

Top Gun: Maverick showed that Hangman is Maverick's actual heir, despite initial comparisons to Iceman. Powell's character is daredevil like his TOPGUN teacher.

Behind the scenes, Cruise and Powell have found a true connection, with Powell likewise enjoying flying like Cruise did while working on Top Gun.
