Val Kilmer Spoke in Top Gun: Maverick with Assistance of Artificial Intelligence Voice Models

Val Kilmer's Tom "Iceman" Kazansky makes an unforgettable appearance in Top Gun: Maverick — with a little help from science.

Filmed after the actor, 62, recovered from throat cancer, the newly released follow-up to 1986's Top Gun sees Kilmer reunite with Tom Cruise onscreen over 35 years after the original movie. And according to a report from Fortune, artificial intelligence previously developed by Sonantic for Kilmer was leveraged for his role in the sequel.

In an August 2021 blog post, Sonantic co-founder and CEO John Flynn previously said they "generated more than 40 different voice models and selected the best, highest-quality, most expressive one" for Kilmer.

"Those new algorithms are now embedded into our Voice Engine, so future clients can automatically take advantage of them as well," he continued.

According to Flynn, "From the beginning, our aim was to make a voice model that Val would be proud of." He added, "We were eager to give him his voice back, providing a new tool for whatever creative projects are ahead."

Kilmer's son Jack, who recites some of narration in his father's 2021 documentary Val, previously told PEOPLE of Sonantic's technology, "They have just created something really incredible and it really moved me to see their proof of concept. It has so much potential."

"Knowing my dad, he'll probably use it for something creative and, at the very least, just to communicate with us when he's feeling tired," added Jack, 26. "A cool setup, though."
