At Fan Expo Boston, Collider caught up with Bryce Dallas Howard to discuss her involvement in the Star Wars universe, and she revealed she was directing an episode of the upcoming Skeleton Crew series and that she’d be up to direct a Star Wars film.
Weintraub kicked off the interview with a question many fans have been wondering: is Howard returning to the Star Wars sandbox soon? And will we ever get a feature-length Star Wars project with her at the helm?
“Well, I wish! So, what I’ll say is that I’m doing an episode of Skeleton Crew , which I’m super excited about. I went to college with Jon Watts and his writing partner in this, Chris Ford. And so, that was very exciting and getting to do that.”
She continued, explaining her enthusiasm for being part of a larger team and executing a shared vision, while also expressing her hope that she would get to direct a film of her own one day.
“And I love…again, for the children in the audience, I’ll be mindful. I sometimes characterize myself in a professional sense as a dominant-submissive. What that means is that I’m very happy to go and play in someone else’s sandbox and be part of a team and to kind of be a vessel for someone else’s vision and try to kind of execute their vision with great enthusiasm as if it was my own. And then I also really love to work with a team and be kind of team captain. I enjoy that, I have strength in that area. I love filmmaking. I love directing. And so, I would absolutely love to direct a Star Wars film . I would absolutely love to have a Star Wars show.”
