10 Perfect Castings In Upcoming Comic Book Movies
7. Chris Pine As Steve Trevor - Wonder Woman
The ever-charming Chris Pine seems like the typical comic book hero. In fact, up until the moment of his casting, fans were still dreaming of him playing Green Lantern. He may, however, be much better suited to play against type as Wonder Woman's love interest, Steve Trevor, instead.
On the surface, Trevor is a competent soldier and the first man who Diana ever meets. He becomes her link to the outside world and slowly becomes a valued love interest to her. He's got the charm of a leading man but none of the abilities, character traits that Pine should have no trouble embodying with his smooth yet aloof demeanour.
More interesting is that after establishing himself as a pretty-boy leading man, Pine has done a lot of interesting work in recent years. His roles in Horrible Bosses 2, Into The Woods, and Stretch all showed a very different side to Pine, one that was eccentric, comedic and extremely flawed. The idea of putting the actor we expect as a superhero and instead portraying him as a damsel-in-distress could be very rewarding and flip conventional tropes on their heads, making Pine an inspired choice for Wonder Woman's affection.
