He was offered Val Kilmers Iceman role in Top Gun, not Maverick.
Top Gun was written with Cruise in mind for the lead, watch the Bluray features.

My source, it's a know fact Mickey was wanted for Top Gun, and No way back then would of they offered a little dwarf the film over Mickey. Go think about that. Mickey was the Brando of the 80's and every one wanted him but he pushed and pushed em all away.

All for the best. Having seen these films and the fellas that played the roles mentioned, just can't imagine Mickey in their place. He knew best.

well he turned them down for the wrong reasons as he himself admitted, for not liking the director (as a person not as a filmmaker).

but man just imagine what his career would be like had he not turned down the roles he was offered
It would probably be much like it is now. Most likely, he would have slammed his costars, the directors, the producers, etc and burned another bridge.
I love the man, but he is his own worst enemy.
