Tom Cruise donned his trademark khaki bomber jacket as he filmed more scenes for the Top Gun sequel on Thursday, 32 years after the original action movie.

The 56-year-old was pictured in Los Angeles, looking as youthful as ever, as he got back into character as Lt. Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell to film motorbike scenes with Jennifer Connelly - although according to a nametag on his character's jacket, he's now a Captain.

Connelly will play Maverick's love interest in Top Gun: Maverick, replacing Kelly McGillis who played Charlie in the original.

Deadline reports that Cruise's character Maverick will be a Top Gun flight instructor in the sequel; he serves as a mentor to Goose's son.

Val Kilmer is also reprising his role as 'Iceman'.
