A gay wedding scene featuring Cheyenne Jackson's character was cut from Borderlands

Sorry queer Borderlands fans, but it looks like you won't get to see a gay marriage in the upcoming live-action film adaptation of the popular video game.

In conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Borderlands director Eli Roth said that he shot an entire wedding scene between two of the game characters, Sir Alistair Hammerlock (played by Charles Babalola) and Wainwright Jakobs (Cheyenne Jackson) — but he had to cut the scene out of the final film.

If you haven't played the games, Sir Hammerlock and Jakobs are two side characters that appear throughout several games in the Borderlands franchise. In the series' third game, Borderlands 3, they were revealed to be in a relationship. A DLC for that game, entitled Guns, Love and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock, even has the player going to the couple's destination wedding on an ice planet where an evil cult has taken over.

Originally, Roth wanted that wedding to be in his film, and even filmed it, but ultimately cut it because it threw off the film's pacing.

"It was one of those things that we all loved," Roth said. "We loved the actors. The scene itself turned out great, but in the overall mission of the film it felt like a detour that stopped the mood and then went back."

However, Roth said that if he makes the planned Borderlands film sequels, he could still use the footage.

"All you can say is, you know what? If we're lucky to do another one, we know we got them for another one," he said. "And that's a very hard thing, but ultimately, your responsibility is to the movie and to the story."

The new Borderlands movie focuses on Lilith (Cate Blanchett), a bounty hunter who teams up with the mercenary Roland (Kevin Hart), oddball scientist Tannis (Jamie Lee Curtis), pre-teen demolitions expert Tiny Tina (Ariana Greenblatt), her bodyguard Krieg (Florian Munteanu), and talkative robot Claptrap (Jack Black) to "find the missing daughter of Atlas, the universe's most powerful S.O.B."

Borderlands hits theaters on August 9 (sadly, without any gay marriages).
