Chris Pine signs to star in Wonder Woman comic book movie

Chris Pine closed a deal to play Steve Trevor opposite Gal Gadot in “Wonder Woman,” TheWrap said it has learned.

Pine joins the DC Movie Universe in a multi-picture deal that includes sequel options, according to insiders.

Steve Trevor will be no mere love interest for Gadot’s Diana Prince, as there will be plenty of action to keep him busy, though plot details remain under wraps.

Patty Jenkins is directing “Wonder Woman,” which Zack Snyder and Deborah Snyder are producing with Charles Roven and Richard Suckle of Atlas Entertainment. Jason Fuchs wrote the script after working with Warner Bros. on Joe Wright’s “Pan.”

Wonder Woman will be introduced in next year’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” before her solo movie hits theaters on June 23, 2017.
