Chris Pine to Join DC’s ‘Wonder Woman’ as Steve Trevor!!

Superman has Lois Lane, Superboy had Lana Lang, and Wonder Woman has military man Steve Trevor, who in many versions of her origin is the outsider who first discovers the Amazons on Paradise Island. This week, we learned that the role of Steve Trevor in Warner Bros and DC Comics‘ long-awaited adaptation of Wonder Woman (6/23/17) will be none other than Chris Pine, who is now in talks. If Chris Pine does sign on to join Gal Gadot, it will be the third franchise for the actor, after his two (and soon, three) Star Trek films as Captain Kirk, and one reboot attempt with Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. Wonder Woman will be directed by Patty Jenkins (Monster), who came aboard the superhero adaptation after the departure of Breaking Bad director/producer Michelle MacLaren. Chris Pine reportedly won the role of Steve Trevor after the studio tested a few other actors, including Scott Eastwood, who instead was cast in a supporting role in DC Comics‘ Suicide Squad.
