The latest installment of ScreenRant’s Coffee Chats has arrived, featuring the talented Bryce Dallas Howard as the special guest. In this cozy episode, Howard joins host Liam Crowley at Gumption Coffee in Midtown Manhattan to discuss her latest projects over a warm cup of hot chocolate—her beverage of choice.
Following in the footsteps of previous guests Noah Centineo and Jack Quaid, Howard, a second-generation star recognized for her impressive roles in franchises like Jurassic World and Spider-Man, has refocused her energy on directing. With her experience on The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, she is now venturing into the heartwarming world of documentary storytelling through Disney+’s Pets, which explores children’s emotional bonds with their pets.

Hot Chocolate: A Comfortable Choice for Howard
During her conversation at Gumption Coffee, Howard expresses her lifelong affection for hot chocolate, revealing a charming transition from her early days of coffee consumption. While she once embraced coffee during long film hours, she now finds solace in hot cocoa, which she affectionately cites as her “first love.”
“I love hot chocolate. I’ve always loved hot chocolate. I joke that I should have a T-shirt that I wear at all times that says, ‘Powered by hot chocolate.’ When folks are worried about me, they’ll be like, ‘You look like you need a hot chocolate.’ It’s a passionate love affair.”
Pets Documentary: An Intersection of Passion and History
In her new film Pets, Howard shares not only her passion for pets but also how they have profoundly influenced her life. She emphasizes her goal with this project is to evoke positive feelings, drawing on her own experiences with animals from childhood.
“I was very lucky growing up because my parents had a lot of pets… My dog, Frisky, brought me to Earth or something. My dad literally told this story at my wedding. It was that meaningful to them because they didn’t know what was going on and then all they needed was a pet.”
Howard’s Favorite Star Wars Creature: An Unrevealed Mystery
Beyond documentaries, Howard has made significant contributions to the Star Wars universe, directing episodes of The Mandalorian and more. Although she has encountered numerous fantastical creatures during her time in this beloved franchise, she hints at one that has yet to be introduced to the audience.
“I do [have a favorite Star Wars creature], but I can’t say what it is. We haven’t met it yet.”
