Zendaya‘s prep for her new dark comedy The Drama? A Twilight marathon, of course.

The superstar appears alongside Robert Pattinson in the A24 film, which follows an engaged couple whose wedding week is thrown off the rails after one of them reveals a big secret. And despite being the prime age to have experienced the Twilight craze, Zendaya had never seen the franchise, and decided to fix that before working with Edward Cullen himself.

“I was like, ‘How have I never seen these movies before?’ But I felt like I had to, it’s like a cultural kind of phenomenon that I hadn’t been a part of yet,” she told The Hollywood Reporter at the film’s L.A. premiere on Tuesday. “I watched all of them in like a day. It was great, I enjoyed myself.”
