In response, Robinson quickly addressed the confusion, stating, “They absolutely shot their scenes together. Hope this helps,” followed by a heart emoji.
When the original poster expressed embarrassment for their inquiry, Robinson reassured them, “No apology necessary! I totally get why people might think that cause of some of the coverage but they are absolutely acting off each other. It was electric!” This response highlights the strong chemistry that fans were hoping for in the revival of this classic slasher franchise.
