While Chris Pine saw no road for him to play Steve Trevor again in a third Wonder Woman film, he still admits to being puzzled over the film being canceled.
Speaking with Business Insider, Pine said, “I’m stunned that they said no to a billion-dollar franchise and decided to pivot elsewhere,” Pine said. “I don’t know what the reasoning was behind that; it’s above my pay grade, but Wonder Woman is an incredible character; Patty is such a thoughtful director.”
When asked if he would return, Pine said, “Me. No. Homie is dead. Steve is gonzo. It would be ridiculous to try to bring me back.”
Pine also recalled how he passed on the role of Trevor in the original film twice before Patty Jenkins met with him. “I had no interest in playing the boyfriend, and it sounded like second fiddle,” said Pine. “Then, in talking to Patty, the way she described it was, ‘Forget the superhero of it all, this is a romance, this is Casablanca, that’s the movie I want to make.’ I was like, oh, now that is very cool because when have you seen a superhero film that was a love story, ultimately? That had nothing to do with blowing s*** up.”
No plans have been announced for future Wonder Woman projects at this time.
