“Maybe it’s just my abilities, I don’t know,” Powell joked of the kiss scene

Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones don’t kiss at the end of Twisters — although they did film an alternate ending with a smooch.

The actors recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the conclusion of the action-adventure film along with director Lee Isaac Chung.

In the movie, released on Friday, July 19, Edgar Jones, 26, plays Kate, a retired tornado-chaser who is lured back into the activity by a friend after a devastating experience. Powell, 35, portrays a social media star named Tyler who joins the same chase that Kate is on.

Tyler runs through an airport at the film’s end to find Kate — but when he locates her, they don’t kiss. However, Powell and Edgar-Jones did film a kiss scene as a potential alternate ending.

“I’m taking a little offense that they didn’t want to use it. Maybe it’s just my abilities, I don’t know,” Powell joked of the kiss scene ultimately being scrapped.

Chung, 45, told the outlet that there was a simple reason he decided to have the pair run off together to chase another storm instead of smooching.

“I actually tried the kiss, and it was very polarizing — and it’s not because of their performance of the kiss,” Chung explained. “This [no-kiss shot] was the other option that I had filmed on the day, and I got to say, ‘I like it better. I think it’s a better ending.’ “

Edgar-Jones agreed. “It felt nice and refreshing to not have to end up on that beat because what you’re ending it on is two individuals who are so equal in their love and interest and intelligence and understanding of weather,” she told EW.

Chung — who earned Oscar nominations for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay for his 2020 film Minari— pointed out that omitting the kiss gave Kate a bigger purpose in the film.

“If it ends on the kiss, then it makes it seem as though that’s what Kate’s journey was all about — to end up with a kiss,” he told EW. “But instead, it’s better that it ends with her being able to continue doing what she’s doing with a smile on her face.”
