Bryce Dallas Howard, daughter of Oscar-winning director Ron Howard, is in talks to star in McG’s upcoming sequel “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Howard would replace Charlotte Gainsbourg in the role of Kate Conner, wife of the film’s lead character John Connor (Christian Bale). Gainsbourg had to drop the project due to conflicts in schedule.

Howard was last seen in Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 3.” Her career took off after she delivered a solid performance in M. Night Shyamalan’s mystery thriller “The Village.”

Production on “Terminator” is currently underway, and Warner Bros. is planning to release the film next summer.

Anton Yelchin and Moon Bloodgood also star.
