It's for my French homework and I'm not so sure if I'm doing it right. And does the rule, whatever it is, apply for vouloir as well? I need to know the future conjugation for the two verbs for je, nous, and vous. Pleeease help!
 
Nope, it doesn't. They're both irregular verbs.
The conjugations are as follows:

Vouloir
Je voudrai
Tu voudras
Il/elle/on voudra
Nous voudrons
Vous voudrez
Ils/elles voudront

Pouvoir:
Je pourrai
Tu pourras
Il/elle/on pourra
Nous pourrons
Vous pourrez
Ils/elles pourront
 
Pouvoir and vouloir are both irregular verbs so you'll just have to memorize the base stems.

The base stem for pouvoir in the future tense is pourr-
So it's "Je pourrai, Nous pourrons, Vous pourrez."

The base stem for vouloir in the future tense is voudr-
So it's "Je voudrai, Nous voudrons, Vous voudrez."
