Much like her father Ron Howard, Bryce Dallas Howard has turned her directing talents to the Star Wars franchise, directing episodes of The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and the upcoming Skeleton Crew. But there's another classic science fiction universe she'd like to explore. Howard talked about her desire to direct Star Trek at FanExpo Boston this weekend.
When asked about potentially directing or acting for Star Trek, Howard answered enthusiastically:
"Oh, my gosh. So guys, I'm a Trekkie. I'm actually a Trekkie. God, I would love it. I would love it. I mean, wasn't the last season of Picard just brilliant? Terry Matalas , I’m so impressed with him and what he’s done. So, I can only hope."
Weintraub noted with surprise that Paramount has seemingly not brought Matalas back for another Star Trek series (despite fan support for his proposed Star Trek: Legacy), letting Marvel pick him up to showrun their upcoming Vision Quest series. Howard agreed that the latter studio had correctly recognized Matalas' talent.
