She hasn’t announced it, suggested it or brought it up in public, but when asked by io9 whether there was a storyline that she would like to direct in the big screen arena, her reply was perfectly Bryce.
There’s an argument to be made that Bryce Dallas Howard has been the best, most consistent live-action Star Wars director… maybe ever. Directing not one, not two, but three of the best pieces of Star Wars in recent memory, it’s very clear that Howard is no longer simply a formidable actress, she has full command on the other side of the camera too.
Next month, she’s got Jurassic World Dominion coming to theaters and, to mark the occasion, io9 sat down with the actress (and her co-star, some guy named Chris Pratt) to talk not just Jurassic, but their other big franchise work. For Howard, we asked if there was a character or storyline that would get her to direct a Star Wars film. “Oh, my goodness,” she said. “I think it would take someone asking me.” So, Kathleen Kennedy? Are you out there? Let’s get Bryce Dallas Howard a Star Wars movie.
Her episodes are almost universally praised, her insight into the characters as sharp as anyone else’s and her action direction is thrilling – just like Rick Famuyiwa, she’s a ‘go-to guy’ and a turn in the big chair for a major motion picture in the Star Wars galaxy would surely be exciting and enticing for all concerned.
