Bitter Kevin Costner Makes Shocking Jibe at Yellowstone: The Characters Deserved a Different Ending
Kevin Costner has made a shock jibe about Yellowstone, the series he acrimoniously departed last year amid a rumored rift with creator Taylor Sheridan.
Kevin Costner can’t escape the Old West. Try as he might to leave Yellowstone behind and seek financing for his four-part Horizon film series, Costner’s one-man crusade to tell the story of the West, his way, may have finally met its end.
“Horizon feels like thirty-five years ago,” he joked in a new interview with Entertainment Tonight. The outlet asked him how he felt about the thirty-fifth anniversary of Dances with Wolves, but his mind is still set on Horizon. “[Part] Two is done, and I hope to make [Parts] Three and Four,” he said.
That day may never arrive for Costner. In the process of making Horizon, he left behind one of his most popular roles of all time: John Dutton. Costner reportedly exited the popular Paramount series due to a dispute over contracts and film scheduling. Even though Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan ki||ed his character off-screen and derailed the entire fifth season in his absence, Costner still has kind words for the series that won him his third Golden Globe award.
“It’s modern-day ranching,” Costner explained. “Yellowstone was able to capture that so beautifully. I mean, it’s a bit of a soap opera. We should all be in prison.”
Kevin’s character John was unexpectedly ki||ed in a m*rder-for-hire plot during the premiere of Yellowstone’s season five part two in a death several fans interpreted as a final ‘F U’ from Sheridan amid their rumored spat.
Last year, in an exclusive video obtained by DailyMail.com, the Oscar winner said of the show’s finale: ‘I’m not thinking about [the Yellowstone finale], I don’t think I’ve given it any thoughts, we’ll just let it go.’
Well, prison isn’t in the cards for the Dutton family. Instead, Sheridan is cooking up multiple spin-offs to continue the story of the Yellowstone ranching family. As always, I’m sure Paramount would love to have Costner back for some flashbacks.
“I loved the show,” Costner told People last summer. “I liked the people on the show. I liked what it was about. I love that world…I’ve always felt that…it might be an interesting moment to come back and finish the mythology of this modern-day family. And if that happens, I would step into it if I agreed with how it was being done.”
