The legendary Val Kilmer, who lit up the screen in so many amazing movies such as Heat, Tombstone, True Romance, Top Gun and Batman Forever, has died at the age of just 65.

The star, who recently recovered from throat cancer, succumbed to the effects of pneumonia on Tuesday night in LA according to his daughter, Mercedes.

Of course, Mr Kilmer had famously always been an eccentric and elusive character, a chameleon of sorts on and off-screen, and so it's very hard to know what his hobbies and interests were, and if he had any inclination towards playing video games, well... we'll likely never know.

However, Val did actually act in one title on Nintendo systems during his illustrious career in the form of Spider-Man: Edge of Time, which was released on DS, 3DS and Wii (in slightly altered versions) back in 2011.

You can Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.

Now, full disclosure: as the kids say, we had to look up who Val played, and we're not sure we the role at all (to be fair, it was a very long time ago), but judging by the video above, which dropped in the run-up to the game's release, the man was certainly getting involved as Walker Sloan, and taking the time to consider his role, whilst enjoying the process.

There goes our huckleberry. Sleep well, Mr Kilmer.
