Joss Whedon made some noise on the Internet in April when he criticized Jurassic World as “70’s era sexist” on Twitter after a clip was released. Although Whedon later said his remark was out of line, director Colin Trevorrow was still asked about it and had a surprising response.

The clip featured Claire, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, and Owen, Chris Pratt’s character, in an argument without little context. It was the first full scene Universal released and was shared by MTV News.

In an interview with the Italian site Bad Taste, which Coming Soon.net translated, Trevorrow said that he didn’t completely disagree with the Avengers: Age of Ultron director. He said the main problem was the Universal marketing department’s decision to release that particular clip.

“I wasn’t bothered by what he said about the movie and, to be honest, I don’t totally disagree with him,” Trevorrow told Bad Taste. “I wonder why [Universal] chose a clip like that, that shows an isolated situation within a movie that has an internal logic. That starts with characters that are almost archetypes, stereotypes that are deconstructed as the story progresses. The real protagonist of the movie is Claire and we embrace her femininity in the story’s progression. There’s no need for a female character that does things like a male character, that’s not what makes interesting female characters in my view. Bryce and I have talked a lot about these concepts and aspects of his character.”

Howard also suggested that the marketing department was to blame for releasing that clip without context.

“Marketing for a film is tricky because you release stuff without context,” she told The Huffington Post this week. “Of course there was a part of me being such a fan of him that was like, ‘Nooooo!’ Especially because when you see the movie it’s not at all like that, but we make movies and it’s out there for public opinion and I hope he likes the movie!”

Whedon did later say that he regretted his tweet and has actually deleted his Twitter profile completely.

We will finally get to see the scene in its proper context on June 12 when it finally hits theaters. Jurassic World is the first film in the Jurassic Park franchise since 2001.
