"Twisters" has made a big splash at the box office, but a missing kiss scene between its stars has become a hot topic.

Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell revealed to Collider that executive producer Steven Spielberg suggested removing the scene. “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.” Edgar-Jones stated.

“I also think that this movie is not about them finding love,” Powell added in the joint interview. “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.”

While fans may be disappointed, the filmmakers believe the ending serves the story better.

Spielberg's note reflects his influence as an executive producer and his understanding of storytelling. Despite the missing scene, "Twisters" has grossed an impressive $123.2 million globally.
