Pine Confirms: Steve Trevor's story ends in Wonder Woman Universe

Pine, who gained notoriety for playing Gal Gadot's Steve Trevor, the love interest of Wonder Woman/Diana Prince, explained that he would not have returned to the role for a third movie. "I, myself. No. My friend is deceased. Steve is insane. "It would be absurd to attempt to bring me back," he declared, alluding to his character's death in the first movie and subsequent reappearance in the follow-up thanks to a request from Galactot's persona.

Pine reflected on his early hesitation to accept the job, saying he first declined the chance to play the boyfriend because he thought it would be like playing second fiddle. But after talking with director Patty Jenkins, he had a different viewpoint. She marketed the movie as a romance, a contemporary "Casablanca," rather than just a superhero movie. Pine was drawn to the concept of viewing a superhero movie from a romantic perspective since it went beyond just action and explosions.

Wonder Woman 3 was canceled when Peter Safran and James Gunn took over DC Studios, leading to a thorough redesign of the DC Comics Extended Universe.
