Warning: This article contains a Twisters spoiler.

With Twisters off to a hot start at the box office, it’s time to talk about the chemistry between Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones. The two start out in rival storm-chasing crews, and the onscreen tension between their characters builds from the beginning of the film (in a good way!).

In the stand-alone sequel, Powell plays Tyler, a reckless tornado wrangler, alongside Edgar-Jones’s Kate, a former storm chaser haunted by her past. But there’s one big difference between their characters in Twisters and the characters from the original Twister.

Here’s your second warning … please stop reading if you care about spoilers!

Unlike Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt who kiss (finally) at the end of the 1996 film, there’s no lip lock between Powell and Edgar-Jones. After a missed opportunity when they are at Kate’s childhood home, it seems as if they might kiss in the last scene. Nope. Yahoo Entertainment talked to the actors about leaving audiences on the edge of their seats.

“I think what I love about the choice for that is, it stops the film from ever sinking into kind of cliché in a way,” Edgar-Jones said. “Like, I think these are real people, real chasers. And obviously we’re in a movie world of kind of epic scale, but I think —”

Who has time for kissing?

“Exactly! They’ve gotta go chase, they’ve got another storm on the way,” the British actress replied.

Powell joked that he “raised his hand” and was more than happy for an onscreen kiss, “but [Daisy] said no.”

“Anything but that!” Edgar-Jones quipped.

“There’s always time for a kiss,” Powell joked.

Twisters actors Katy O’Brian, Brandon Perea and Sasha Lane, who are all part of Tyler’s storm-chasing crew in the movie, were equally as surprised that there was no kiss written into the script.

“I loved how they switched it up,” Lane told Yahoo. “It was a vibe.”

“I was vibing with that too,” added Perea.

“It was different,” agreed O’Brian. “I think I was most surprised by that at the end. They just kind of kept us guessing.”

Twisters is in theaters now.
