The new movie Twisters is playing now in theaters and fans were upset to find out that the lead characters, played by Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell, never kiss.
Daisy stars as Kate Carter, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi (Anthony Ramos) to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Powell), the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better.
Romantic tension builds throughout the movie and a kiss scene was even filmed (and leaked on social media), but the scene was deleted from the finished movie.
So, what happened?

Daisy and Glen have revealed that the movie’s executive producer Steven Spielberg made the decision to cut the kiss.
“I think it’s a Spielberg note, wasn’t it?” Daisy told Collider. “I think it stops the film feeling too clichéd, actually. I think there’s something really wonderful about it feeling like there’s a continuation. This isn’t the end of their story. They’re united by their shared passion for something.”
Glen added, “I also think that this movie is not about them finding love. It’s returning Kate to the thing that she loves, which is storm chasing. So that’s what you have at the end of the movie. They share this thing, and her passion is reinvigorated, and her sense of home is reinvigorated. I feel like a kiss would be sort of unrepresentative of the right goal at the end of the movie. And it is a good Spielberg note. It’s why that kid is still in this game. It’s amazing.”
The director of the movie reveals an iconic scene that was almost cut, but stayed in and has fans so excited.
