Chris Pine, the acclaimed actor renowned for his portrayal of Steve Trevor in the Wonder Woman franchise, has unequivocally rebuffed any notions of a return to the superhero genre. In a recent interview with ComicBook, Pine expressed a distinct lack of enthusiasm about the prospect of joining either the DC Universe or the Marvel Cinematic Universe, underscoring his desire to explore a diverse range of roles in film and television.
Pine played a pivotal role in the success of the first Wonder Woman film, contributing to the exploration of the iconic heroine’s origin story. His character, Steve Trevor, played a crucial part in the narrative, meeting a heroic end in the initial installment only to make a surprising return in Wonder Woman 1984. However, the narrative arc wrapped up his story definitively, and Pine seems intent on keeping it that way.
Despite earlier speculations surrounding Wonder Woman 3, it was clarified in subsequent reports that DC Studios had no plans to produce the film. The uncertainty about Pine’s potential return in Wonder Woman 3 raised concerns of narrative repetitiveness and the potential dilution of emotional stakes, particularly given the character’s poignant ending in Wonder Woman 1984. The prospect of Diana having to grapple with Steve’s sacrifice once again seemed both unnecessary and a form of character torture, especially if the storyline was meant to unfold in the present time, several decades beyond their shared history.
Gal Gadot, who portrayed Diana Prince, is also not slated to return to the DC Universe, further contributing to the uncertainty surrounding the franchise’s future. Pine’s decision to distance himself from the superhero genre aligns with a broader trend in Hollywood, where actors seek to diversify their portfolios with a variety of roles.
While Pine is firm in his stance against returning to the superhero realm, it remains to be seen whether he might consider one-off roles in either the DC or Marvel universe, perhaps in smaller capacities that don’t demand the extensive commitments associated with playing a central character like Steve Trevor. As the landscape of cinematic universes continues to evolve, only time will reveal which Hollywood stars may eventually venture into the realms of the DC Universe and the MCU, bringing fresh perspectives to iconic characters and narratives.
