Zoë Kravitz and Robert Pattinson opened up about the "intense" chemistry test they went through for their upcoming superhero flick "The Batman."

The pair graced the digital cover of Entertainment Weekly. They did the shoot in downtown Los Angeles in late January. Kravitz and Pattinson have known each other for over a decade, and it was apparent how they teased one another about their flirting skills during the shoot. However, both admitted that they had a difficult time when they did the chemistry test for the movie.

"The chemistry read was really intense," Kravitz told EW.

According to the "Divergent" star, they had to perform several intimate exchanges, which served as her audition. She admitted that she was so anxious that she might have blown it off.

"Rob was wearing the Batsuit, and it was a proper camera test with the DP there and everything on a soundstage. It wasn't just reading lines in a room. So it was intimidating, to say the least," she recalled.

To make matters worse, she had to take off Pattinson's helmet, and she was afraid that if she did it wrong, she would ruin his hair.

"That totally spun me into a little bit of anxiety," Kravitz added. "It's wildly complicated to take off a helmet and look cool, not have it get stuck on your head, or your hair look funny. I was convinced that was going to be my downfall."

On the other hand, the "Twilight" actor was as anxious as his future leading lady even if he was already cast for the role. According to Pattinson, he already did a solo screen test in a classic Batsuit but hadn't uttered a word as his character.

"The first time I'd even said lines from the script was in Zoë's screen test," Pattinson shared. "They had this idea that they wanted me to be taller at the beginning, so I basically had high-heeled sneakers on, and I'm tottering around in this strange Batman outfit."

Pattinson added that the camera was not even on him and was only on the back of his head. However, he couldn't help but panic.

"I'm literally having this major panic attack, just looking for emotional support from Zoë, who's trying to get the part," he added.

Kravitz shared a snap from the cover shoot on Instagram, and the netizens loved it.

"The Batman" will hit theaters on March 4.
