Top Gun actor Barry Tubb sues Paramount over use of his image in Maverick


Barry Tubb, the actor who played Wolfman in 'Top Gun,' is suing Paramount over what he says is the unauthorized use of his likeness in the hit sequel 'Top Gun: Maverick.'

Barry Tubb, the actor who played flyboy Leonard "Wolfman" Wolfe in the 1986 movie Top Gun, is suing the studio over what he says is the unauthorized use of his likeness in the hit 2022 sequel. In a complaint filed Wednesday in California court and obtained by EW, Tubb claims that his permission to use his likeness "did not include the use of his image in the sequel." The scene in question features Hangman ( Glen Powell) and Coyote (Greg Tarzan Davis) first learning that Rooster Bradshaw ( Miles Teller) is actually the son of the late Goose (Anthony Edwards) when they come upon an old photo of Iceman ( Val Kilmer), Goose, Maverick ( Tom Cruise), and Wolfman.
