In a statement, Denzel Washington said,

'In the film, I kissed a man on the lips, but they cut the scene. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed. We've already heard about the cut kiss between Pedro Pascal and Paul Mescal, and now this? I guess they're not ready for it. About five minutes after that kiss, I killed him. It was a death kiss.'
