So cutting the kiss Wallis mentioned on Conan corrects the previously predictable course that The Mummy was headed for, and instead leaves the potential relationship between the two characters unfulfilled.
Although the moment on set was clearly not great for Wallis, from my view, Tom’s eye on the story seems pretty keen.
As the film currently stands, the connection between the two characters isn’t terribly drenched in romantic meaning, with the action taking more of a front seat.
The fact that this kissing scene between Annabelle Wallis and Tom Cruise actually may have helped the film’s plot move forward, as the supposed romance between Wallis’ Jenny and Cruise’s Nick actually doesn’t feel like it would have changed the film all that much.
