Will Star Trek’s Chris Pine beam down to Earth for Warner Brothers and DC Comics Wonder Woman film opposite Gal Gadot.
Pine is in talks to join the project as Steve Trevor according to Variety although the studio did not comment. Patty Jenkins is directing the solo film starring the Amazon warrior.
In comics Steve Trevor was U.S. Army Intelligence officer who crashed on Paradise Island in World War II. Diana rescued him, nursed him back to health and followed him back to America. In modern continuity Trevor is Diana’s government liaison officer and with the Justice League on behalf of the United Nations. Steve falls in love with Wonder Woman but is humiliated when she chooses Superman. Trevor works with Amanda Waller (of Suicide Squad) for A.R.G.U.S. (Advanced Research Group for Uniting Super-Humans). It’s likely this could be a multiple picture deal with Pine playing Trevor in the Justice League films and more of the DC superhero films given his government role in the comics. Viola Davis is playing Waller in Suicide Squad. Trevor or Waller could play a supporting role like Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury that carries through the DC Universe films. Lyle Waggoner played Trevor in the Lynda Carter television series.
Wonder Woman is scheduled for June 23, 2017.
