In 2024’s Twisters, Anthony Ramos plays Javi, a character that many thought was secretly smitten by Daisy Edgar-Jones’ Kate. Now, Ramos has opened up about his take on the film, as well as its now infamous lack of a kiss at the end.
Speaking to ComingSoon in a recent interview, Ramos was asked about the theory that fans quickly came up with that his character Javi had a crush on Kate. In the movie, it’s never explicitly mentioned, but fans were quick to pick up on Javi’s interactions, and according to Ramos, he definitely thought there was something there.
What did Ramos say about his character’s feelings in Twisters?
“Oh, sure, for sure, a hundred percent,” said Ramos. “Yeah. He has that line. He is like, ‘There was a time where I’d do anything for you, Kate,’ and I look at her with them eyes like, ‘Yo, you know I would’ve done anything for you, but you never picked me.’ That kind of thing. Yeah, he is salty a little bit, but then he gets over it.”
Despite Javi being “salty” at the start, Ramos joked that both he and Javi would’ve liked to have seen a kiss between Edgar-Jones’ Kate and Glen Powell’s Tyler, a moment that fans lamented never occurred despite the pair ending the movie having feelings for one another.
“Well, you know what? On the contrary, at the end of the movie, I’m like, ‘Bro, go get it.’ Like, ‘What are you doing?’ I think it would’ve been better if he would’ve kissed since it would’ve put Javi out of his misery. Now that they didn’t kiss, it’s open-ended. Now he might still have hope and think that he could probably get her. I hope we get a sequel, and then I hope someone else comes along, and then it’s like, ‘Oh, nevermind Kate,’ you know?”
