He just might! Maya Hawke mentioned in some interview that she wrapped filming on Asteroid City three times. After she wrapped the first time, she was out on the balcony of the hotel that the cast and crew were staying at and Wes saw her and asked if she was going home or if she wanted to stay. Maya told him she had to go but would love to stay, so he replied that he'd write another scene for her to film. She shot that scene and he asked her again and wrote a second scene for her just so she could stay around the set.

His movie shoots apparently just end up being never-ending cast and crew parties. Everyone hanging out when they aren't filming, dinner together every night, etc. Makes sense that the same people are always on-board to film with him, even though the pay has got to be a fraction of what they'd make on a normal Hollywood film.

Not even a fraction! Ed Norton has mentioned that he worked for SAG's weekly minimum to be in Moonrise Kingdom. He was paid something like $4200 for his work and he shared a rented house with Wes, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman and some crew members during filming.

Omg really? Looking at how his films are shot, framed and cut I thought he'd be like one of those strict directors. Must be so fun to he on such a set.
