Chris Pine Joins 'Wonder Woman' as Love Interest Steve Trevor
When Scott Eastwood was cast in Suicide Squad some weeks ago, the top rumor about his role was that he would be Steve Trevor, the long-time love interest of Wonder Woman. While we still don't know exactly who Eastwood will be, we know it won't be Steve Trevor, because that role has now gone to Chris Pine.
Pine is in talks to join the upcoming Wonder Woman film as Steve Trevor, meaning he'll get to woo the magic lasso right off of Gal Gadot. In the 1941 comic that introduced him, Trevor was an intelligence officer who crash landed on Paradise Island where he first encounters Wonder Woman. More recent stories have him as a government liaison to Wonder Woman and the Justice League, but in every incarnation he is the guy who steals her warrior heart. Well, she's currently shagging Superman but that's a story for another day.
Penned by Jason Fuchs and directed by Patty Jenkins, Wonder Woman opens June 23rd 2017. [Variety]
