Chris Pine Officially Joins 'Wonder Woman' Movie
Star Trek Actor Will Play Love Interest
By Alex Burns
After months of rumours that Chris Pine was set to join a DC Comics movie we now have confirmation that Captain Kirk himself will play the role of Steve Trevor in Warner Bros. Pictures upcoming 'Wonder Woman' movie! The film stars Gal Gadot (The Fast and the Furious) in the title role and will be directed by Patty Jenkins (Monster). Pine joins the movie after another torrent of rumours had him linked to play the Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, in the 2018 'Green Lantern Corps' movie, now we can put all that speculation to rest as he is locked in for Steve Trevor in DC's cinematic universe.
If you're wondering just who exactly Steve Trevor is then we've got you covered as he's had a few different interpretations in the decades since his debut in 1942's 'All Star Comics' #8. This origin saw the character as a US soldier whose plane crash lands onto Wonder Woman's home turf of Paradise Island. The island is a females only deal and Steve's presence exposed the hidden civilisation to the world. There's been a few changes to the character along the way but he's always maintained a close relationship with Wonder Woman and they've often been involved romantically as well.
The launch of DC's New 52 saw Trevor as a liaise officer for the US government and the newly formed Justice League. It remains to be seen if Trevor will play out that role in the upcoming 'Justice League' movies the Wonder Woman movie is set to to take place across decades as 'Wonder Woman' is introduced to a male dominated world.
Gadot will first star in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' in March 2016 before Pine joins her in the 'Wonder Woman' solo movie in June 2017. Gadot will definitely be back for Justice League: Part One' in November 2017 Pine may appear in that movie as well.
