While many fans may have been pining (GET IT?!) for Captain Kirk to be the new Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, The Wrap has reported that Chris Pine has officially signed the contract to be the enigmatic Steve Trevor for the upcoming Wonder Woman film.
“Chris Pine has closed a deal to play Steve Trevor opposite Gal Gadot in “Wonder Woman,” TheWrap has learned. Pine joins the DC Movie Universe in a multi-picture deal that includes sequel options, according to insiders.
Sounds like Pine will be doing more than playing the Amazon Princess’ love interest. In the comics Steve Trevor was a fighter pilot who crash landed on Themyscira (Wonder Woman’s home island) and brought Diana to the United States.
“Steve Trevor will be no mere love interest for Gadot’s Diana Prince, as there will be plenty of action to keep him busy, though plot details remain under wraps.”
So what do you guys think? Are you excited to see that Wonder Woman has a male love interest? Or do you think she’s supposed to be a strong independent Super Heroine who don’t need no man? Are you happy that Chris Pine is taking the roll? Or are you still not talking to him, because of the Star Trek movies?
