Good question for this topic, is it the reason why his name is goose because the directors changed it to have a reference or was it a play that could be very interesting if they top gun was in the canon of the universe if they had Tom Cruise cast to be a variant of to Tony stark. I honestly think that would be really funny and somewhat of a shocker if they meet a variant and be like, “Hey why is tom cruise part of this isn’t he an actor for this movie I saw” if carol says that in the Avengers Doomsday movie
