I see Val Kilmer is good enough for the Jay and Silent Bob movie but not for the new Top Gun movie. Or IS he? Anyone know if he makes a cameo in Maverick?
Yes, he's going to be in it.
Unfortunately, he has been battling throat cancer over the last couple of years and looked to be in really bad shape around the time the movie was being made, so it's not known how big his role will be. Based on some of the things that have been said, it sounds like it's more than a cameo.

He's supposed to be in it I thought. Maybe just one scene or two, Iceman is probably retired or something

Mid-tier... I have to think this is going to be a pretty big event movie. 80s nostalgia is hot, and Top Gun oozes it.
Mid-tier compared to say an Avengers: Endgame or Star Wars: Rise is the Skywalker. Top Gun will do well but I think it’s absolute box office max is $250M.

Which would likely make it a top 10 movie of the year, out of hundreds.
You should probably catch some non-Disney flicks once in a while if you think $250M is mid-tier. That’s more than either Bohemian Rhapsody or A Star is Born, which were both huge last year.
I didn’t mean it like it was a bad thing — not sure why there’s the attitude. I follow box office stuff pretty closely and would consider it to break down pretty simply, hype-wise
Top tier: good potential to make $300M+
Mid-tier: good potential to make $200 - $299M
Low-tier: good potential to make $100 - $199M
No-tier: likely less than $100M
Obviously within the hundreds of movies that come out in the year, this breaks down into a very fat bottomed pyramid with 90% of releases not even on the radar. And something can make mid or low tier money and still be a big success, like Bohemian Rhapsody or A Star is Born which made big bank on small budgets thanks to awards season legs. But Top Gun is a $140M budget tent pole summer movie — you have to think the executives are looking for that top tier gross.
