Actor Tom Cruise has yet to make a statement about the death of Val Kilmer, who famously played Iceman, initially a rival to Cruise's Maverick character in Top Gun.
Due to the enduring popularity of that franchise, Cruise is integrally tied to Kilmer's life story. Thus, the fact he has remained silent in the wake of Kilmer's death stands out.
A flurry of other tributes from major celebrities emerged on April 2, 2025, the day after Kilmer's daughter Mercedes confirmed his death to The New York Times.
