Robert Pattinson is singing his costar Zendaya’s praises at the premiere of their latest film together.

Speaking to PEOPLE at the March 17 Los Angeles premiere of their film The DramaPattinson, 39, opens up about filming the new A24 wedding drama with Zendaya, 29, as well as their other two major upcoming films, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and Dune: Part Three.

“I think she’s just so consistent in her professionalism with people, just so lovely to every single person — the crew, everyone.” Pattinson says of his three-time co-star. “Even when we’re shooting in Boston on the street, everybody who comes by, she says hi, to saying hi to everyone.”

“It’s unbelievable while still being so prepared and so into the job,” the Twilight alum continues. “I think it’d be really difficult to find someone who says a bad word about it.”

Elsewhere at Tuesday’s premiere, the Challengers actress also reflected on working with Pattinson, telling PEOPLE that he brings a chaotic energy to their interviews.

“I think he’s so uniquely who he is and that comes out in interviews,” she says of her costar. “Sometimes I have no idea what he’s going to say when we’re in interviews. I’m like, ‘Oh, here we go.’ But he definitely keeps it interesting.”

The Drama stars Zendaya and Pattinson as Emma Harwood and Charlie Thompson, “a happily engaged couple” who are “put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails,” per the official synopsis.

The trailer for the film, released in February, shows Emma and Charlie falling blissfully in love until they decide to share the worst thing they’ve ever done during a double date with friends, at which point the relationship begins to fall apart.

The film is directed by Kristoffer Borgli, who also wrote the script. This will mark the second film he’s worked on for A24, following the success of his 2023 comedy-horror flick, Dream Scenario, which starred Nicolas Cage.

Pattinson and Zendaya — who was rumored to have recently tied the knot herself to her Spider-Man costar Tom Holland — have previously reflected on collaborating on so many films in the span of the a year.

The Mickey 17 star told the French publication Première earlier this month that he leaned on his costar when he was struggling with a particular scene.

“We had a scene together that was driving me crazy,” Pattinson said. “I was desperately looking for its meaning, to the point of writing pages and pages of textual analysis … I ended up calling Zendaya the night before shooting the scene in question.”

He continued, “I shared my doubts with her, I spoke for two hours, and blah blah blah, and after a while, very calmly, she finally made me understand that the line just said what it meant to say, that there was no hidden meaning.”

The Drama is set for release in theaters nationwide on April 3.
