He starred alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones, Anthony Ramos, Maura Tierney and Brandon Perea.
During a recent interview with Screen tirade, Powell discussed a kissing scene with his co-star Daisy that was cut from the film by executive producer Steven Spielberg for being “too cliché.”
Glen jokingly told the outlet, “I take it very personally. I’m sure you saw the behind-the-scenes where I got to kiss Daisy Edgar-Jones, and that’s really all that matters. [Laughs] “We had a great time and I’m very proud of the film.”
He also shared his thoughts on fan reactions to the cutscene, saying it “shows that people care about you, and that’s really great.”
“I love how excited people have gotten about that movie, and Daisy and I send each other the TikToks and the gifs. There’s so much humor that comes out of it. It’s fun.
“That’s what summer movies are all about. It creates a conversation and a cultural moment, and people dress up and do it. It’s really great. So, kiss or no kiss, everyone’s a winner,” the actor continued.
In a separate interview with ColliderBoth Glen and Daisy indicated that the kiss scene would be cut due to the possibility of a sequel.
During a recent interview with Screen Rant, Powell discussed a kiss scene with his co-star Daisy that was cut from the film by executive producer Steven Spielberg for being “too cliché,” which is set to screen in July at Universal City.
The Normal People actress said: ‘I think there’s something really beautiful about the sense that there’s a continuation. This isn’t the end of their story. They’re united by their shared passion for something.’
Powell then added: “I also think this movie isn’t about finding love. It’s about getting Kate back 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, and her passion is rekindled, and her sense of home is rekindled.”
He continued, “I feel like a kiss doesn’t represent the right goal at the end of the movie. And it’s a good point by Spielberg. That’s why that kid is still in this game. It’s great.”
