There’s nothing quite like widespread global destruction that will ignite feelings between the two last remaining people on Earth. After all, it’s not as if their date cards are full.

In “Z is for Zachariah,” Chiwetel Ejiofor’s John Loomis and Margot Robbie’s Ann Burden and discover each other, believing they are the last remaining souls of civilization, so sparks fly, naturally.

But things turn messy when there's third wheel.

“If you’re the first guy who turns up in this place and you’re building this dynamic with a girl, and then another guy turns up, the instinct is, sadly, to go, ‘I was here first and that means something, there’s an order to this,’” Ejiofor says.

Of course, when Caleb, played by Chris Pine, enters the picture later, he’s not willing to wait his turn for Ann’s affections—and Ejiofor says he doesn’t blame him.

“Caleb (Pine) doesn’t believe in that at all, and neither should he,” Ejiofor admits of the love triangle. “That’s what creates their masculine tension.”

"Z for Zachariah" opens Friday.
