Chris Pine And Gal Gadot Have Great Chemistry

The flap heart ofWonder Womanwas her relationship with Steve Trevor . From their first glimpse of each other on the beach after she saved him from drown when his plane crashed in the sea outside Paradise Island to their concluding bye when he sacrificed his life to destroyDr . Poison ’s chemic weapon , the chemistry between Gal Gadot and Chris Pine absolutely crepitate throughout their movie . fan naturally commend the inspiringNo Man ’s Landbattle succession as the highlighting ofWonder Woman , but the reason Diana and Steve really come across as lovable characters because they were so charming together .

Diana and Steve   are suitable of being described as the best duet in the DCEU , and not just because their only rivals areLois Lane and Clark Kent(or the Joker and Harley Quinn ) .   Even Lois and Clark ’s amorous moments picket compared to the good times Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor had together during those pivotal few day they shared in 1918 .

Steve Trevor In 1984 Could Be A New Fish Out Of Water Scenario

BringingSteve Trevor to the 1980sis a brilliant way to reverse one of the most fun aspects ofWonder Woman . There are very few inside information   on how the x - undercover agent find himself in 1984 , but going by the look of confusion on his face as he stand in the center of a shopping mall ( and the geological era - appropriate dress of the citizenry surrounding him ) , it ’s been theorize that , this prison term , Steve will be a fish out of water in the 80 . This is a welcome turnaround of how he was Diana ’s mentor who indoctrinate her into the perplexing rules of Man ’s World originally in the 20th century .

The comedic beat ofWonder Womanwere due to Diana ’s switch repugnance at the " horrific " nation of 1918 London and her delight at experiences she ’s never had before : she coo at the first baby she ’d ever see ( she herself was the only child on Themyscira ) , she jet when she tried ice pick for the first time , and she was incensed at the barbarity of the war and the unaffectionate ineptitude of the British generals overseeing the death and destruction . Once Diana left her magical island , the rest of the film was her constant series of first - ever experiences and discoveries , such as shopping with Steve andEtta Candyin Harrods or visiting her first tavern to meet Sameer and Charlie .   This was all balanced by Steve ’s comedic reactions endeavor to restrain her every time . All of this helped endear Diana to consultation as fans got to experience the good and the bad of 1918 through her eyes .

But by 1984 when she encounters Steve again , Diana will have had over 60 eld of living experiences . She lived through a second World War , the variance of Berlin into Communist East and West , the Kennedy Assassination , the Women ’s Liberation movement , the Sun Myung Moon landing , the Vietnam War , and the go along Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union . Now , Diana can be Steve ’s guide in this unknown epoch where Michael Jackson is at the height of his soda superstardom , Ronald Reagan is President , video arcades are all the rage , andLifestyles of the Rich and Famouscelebrates the excess of the Me Decade . Steve was born in the 19th century , after all , so his bewilderment at how much the world has vary since World War I could even eclipse how Diana respond to Man ’s World . The shoe will be on the other foot and this is a goldmine for comedy in the sequel .

Of course , all of this assumes it’stheSteve Trevor . And here ’s the big problem thatWonder Woman 2must overcome .

There Just Needs To Be A Good Explanation For Trevor’s Return

The big interrogation is : howis Steve Trevor back inWonder Woman 1984 ? If Pine is n’t playing the original character , there are other choice for how this could be " Steve Trevor " , such as him being a descendent of Steve ( who somehow look incisively like him ) or a clon of some sort . There ’s no room to know for sure , but a scenario like what happened in Season 2 ofLynda Carter’sWonder WomanTV series , where she team with Steve Trevor , Jr. in the seventies ( who look precisely like his father ) , feel unsatisfactory . Fans will definitely reject a cheap , cop - out account for Steve ’s return and they may also not care it if Pine is n’t playing the same valet from the first film .

It ’s not much to go on , but Patty Jenkins ' tweet definitely indicated Pine is playing " Steve Trevor " , so she puzzle the welfare of the doubt that this Steve is the same Steve that sports fan already met . If that ’s the slip , then Steve has to be either transported to 1984 or he was somehow raise . Since this is a amusing book superhero film that also deals in gods and thaumaturgy , there are a issue of path Steve could end up 66 yr in the future tense if he ’s the same man from the first film ( such as aMother Box ’s Boom Tubetechnology , for example ) . While a worthy account is indeed important , at last , this would just be a means to the final stage of reunite Diana with Steve , and the most important affair is getting them back together so they can hopefully resume their relationship .

However , what happens next is polar , because devotee have already find out Wonder Woman in the present sidereal day and Steve Trevor is seemingly not part of her life any longer . In fact , Steve is a sore spot for Diana - one Batman exploit in themodern Clarence Day scenes ofWonder Womanand again inJustice League . When Batman insisted on rise Superman ( and taunted her by mentioning Steve Trevor ) , Diana vehemently indicate with Bruce about bringing the beat back life-time . Is this because she recognize no good amount of it and does that bind into her experience with Steve in 1984 ? Could Diana have lost him a 2d clock time ?
