Maverick is back.

Val Kilmer has taken to his personal Facebook page to post a Top Gun 2 status update with ramifications on a scale that we can only describe as tectonic.

"There is no Top Gun without Maverick, and it is going to be Maverick playing Maverick," one of the projects producers said.

Last we heard, three-time Oscar winner Jack Nicholson wasn't totally retired, but the 76-year old had become so choosy about his work that it's possible 2010's 'How Do You Know' could be his last feature film. Well, not if Tom Cruise has anything to say about it, as he's wooing Jack to star along with him in 'El Presidente' for his 'Edge of Tomorrow' director Doug Liman.

There's no getting around it, 'All You Need is Kill' was an unwieldy title, and even with Tom Cruise starring in the film, the name could be seen as a turn-off. So it's no surprise that Warner Bros. -- who plans to launch the movie at Comic-Con 2013 -- have changed the title to 'Edge of Tomorrow' and have done so with a brand-new poster.
