In the publication, the filmmaker also says that he tried to make them included, presenting even some drafts of how the team imagined that it could be reproduced, but unfortunately it was eventually discarded.
The cut ended up generating indignation in many fans, who began to question the director about the real reason behind the absence of the moment – which was finally answered by Dean In an interview with SFX Magazine (via Screenrant).
In the conversation, he states that they were “doing something a little different with jumba and pleakley,” and decided to change the duo’s disguises so that the actors ZACH GALIFIANAKIS and Billy Magnussen They had the opportunity to interpret the characters in their human forms, not just through computer graphics.
The speech of Fleischer Camp It has already been proven in the trailers revealed by Disney, where we see times when Jumba and Pleakley take their look of aliens, and others where the duo uses the disguise of humans.
