The Kiss Kiss Bang Bang actor will be joining Tom Cruise, 56, who recently gave Extra a quick update on his co-star during the Paris premiere of his new movie Mission: Impossible – Fallout.

‘He’s doing really well,’ he told the outlet, before also commenting that it was ‘special’ getting to work with Val again.

Back in 2015, Val ‘jumped the topgun,’ when he revealed on Facebook that he was offered a role in Top Gun: Maverick.

‘Offered ‪#‎topgun2‬ — not often you get to say ‘yes’ without reading the script…’ he said.

He then added: ‘This is a long way off so calm down. This has been talked about for a long long time and being offered a role is very different from doing a role.

‘I jumped the gun with my post. I jumped the topgun…an innocent mistake. It was just such a wonderful phone call with my agent.’

The sequel, titled Top Gun: Maverick, is currently filming for a 2019 release.
