To smooch or not to smooch? That was the question for Twisters director Lee Isaac Chung, who made the decision to cut a kiss from the end of the half-disaster-movie-half-rom-com. The film (in theaters now) follows Glen Powell’s Tyler, a viral social media storm chaser, and Daisy Edgar-Jones’ Kate, a former chaser. And when tragedy strikes, and the two team up to take down the storms, sparks fly. Cue "Sparks Fly" by Taylor Swift.
The two leads have electric chemistry, even the initial movie trailers, and fans went crazy when they realized Twisters ended without Kate and Tyler sharing a kiss — especially once footage of the cut scene went viral.

The Twisters ending features Tyler chasing Kate down in an airport — which, I might add, is another classic rom-com move! However, while the movie doesn't end with a kiss, a behind the scenes video shows the team did film one.
"Always remember what they took from us," one user says on X (formerly Twitter) alongside the behind the scenes clip, while another posted the same video, saying, "WHY DID THEY CUT THE KISS FROM TWISTERS?!?!?!???????????????"
Director Lee Isaac Chung finally weighed in on the debate, telling Entertainment Weekly, "I actually tried the kiss [with an audience], and it was very polarizing — and it's not because of their performance of the kiss."
"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 continues. "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."
I totally hear that. However, I'm one of the masses who would have liked to see a kiss!

And the chemistry doesn't stop when the credits roll. Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell continue to have a blast doing press for the film, and fans are starting to draw parallels between Daisy & Glen and Zendaya & Tom Holland, who had similar press junket interactions before announcing their IRL relationship.
We may not get a kiss at the end of Twisters, but you can watch the behind the scenes footage as many times as you want. I know I will.
