Chris Pine Talks about Starring in New Wonder Woman Movie

Plus World War 1 Setting explored

By Alex Burns

Chris Pine is playing Steve Trevor in the upcoming 'Wonder Woman' movie starring Gal Gadot in the titular role. Trevor is a lovable rogue who strikes up a romantic relationship with the Amazonian Warrior and in the comics he's always been the first one to show Wonder Woman that maybe men aren't all bad. In an interview with the Toronto Sun Chris Pine has addressed the unique war time setting for the film and also his characters role in the DC Comics adaptation.

“Steve Trevor is a rogue-ish, cynical realist who’s seen the awful brutish nature of modern civilization,” Pine said. “He’s a worldly guy, a charming guy and it’s going to be a great, fun film. There are some incredibly deep, interesting and morally relevant themes. Patty is just directing the daylights out of it. It’s shot beautifully, feels so wonderfully period, but also has this wonderful pop sensibility. It’s a period we don’t see often; it’s usually World War II. Our costume design is incredible. We have scenes with, like, 500 extras all in period dress. I’d never been on a film with extras casting as beautifully done as it is here. It highlights a really important point. When background casting is done well, it can make or break a scene. I’ve got people in deep background that have entire lives. It’s awesome, it’s actual make-believe land.”

Wonder Woman will take center stage in her solo movie set for release June 23rd 2017 but audiences wil first see Gal Gadot in the iconic costume when 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' hits theatres on March 25th, 2016.
