Bryce Dallas Howard talks to Jimmy Fallon about how she tends to work on really secretive films

Bryce Dallas Howard says she has a tendency to work on really secretive movies

As the interview unfolded, Howard listed some of her notable projects about which she had to keep mum, including blockbuster hits like 'Jurassic World' and 'Star Wars'.

The actress jokingly remarked, "Yeah, I do movies that are really secretive for some reason."

Fallon interjected and said, "'Jurassic World' and 'Star Wars'. You couldn't talk about either one."

Howard added, "Nothing with M Night Shyamalan. I can't talk about any of those."

The late-night host, acknowledging the recurring theme in the actress' career, playfully suggested, "Maybe I think you're being typecast. You want someone that keeps a secret? Hire Bryce Dallas Howard. She doesn't say a word. Hire a Howard. They know what's up. They know how to do it."

The conversation seamlessly transitioned to the nature of her current project, 'Argylle', a spy-themed movie directed by Matthew Vaughn.

Howard shared insights into her character, a spy novelist who, in a twist of fate, finds her fictional characters manifesting as real people.

She noted, "So, I play a spy novelist and she's an introvert and a cat lover. And, she has this character, Argylle, that's played by Henry Cavill. So, he plays this idealized version of a spy." 

"And, so she encounters, thinking that she is an expert in all things espionage, a real spy, played by Sam Rockwell."
