Glen Powell has, in an interesting turn of events, joined the cast of Top Gun 2. The 29-year-old actor originally auditioned for the role of Goose's son in the long-awaited sequel. It came down to Glen Powell and Whiplash star Miles Teller. Ultimately, it was Teller who won the part. However, Powell managed to make an impression on the filmmakers and has been given a different role that has been specifically beefed up for him because the movie's producers wanted him in it. Not a bad consolation prize, it sounds like.
Having been passed on for Goose's son, details on Glen Powell's specific role in the sequel are being kept under wraps for the time being. However, he was given a role that was originally much smaller in the script but, because Tom Cruise, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and the studio executives were so impressed with his audition, they made the role more substantial.
