The Normal People actress said: “I think it’s really wonderful to feel like there’s a continuation. This isn’t the end of their story. They’re united by their shared passion for something.”
Powell added: “I think this movie is not about them finding love, but about Kate getting back to what she loves, which is chasing storms. That’s what we have at the end of the movie.”
“They share this thing, and their passion and sense of home is revitalized.”
She further expressed: “I feel like a kiss wouldn’t represent the right goal at the end of the movie. And that’s a good point by Spielberg. That’s why that guy is still in this game. It’s amazing.”
