‘Top Gun: Maverick’: Miles Teller Bulks Up As Goose’s Son

Production on Paramount Pictures’ upcoming sequel Top Gun: Maverick starring Tom Cruise reprising his role from the 1986 film is well underway, and actor Miles Teller will also be featured as Bradley Bradshaw, the son of the Anthony Edwards character Nick “Goose” Bradshaw, who died in the original film.

Teller is currently filming with Cruise on the highly-anticipated sequel, and recent photos featuring the actor showing off a new physique have surfaced online. You can get a sense at how Teller’s character will look like at least from a physical presence down below.

This isn’t the first time Teller has put on a lot of muscle for the role. He previously underwent some major physical training for his role as Vinny Pazienza in the boxing drama, Bleed For This. Teller has also ventured into the superhero genre as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in Joshua Trank’s ill-fated Fantastic Four reboot alongside Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell.
