They should have cast Chris Evans or Chris Pratt instead.
Have her meet a very similar guy, not an actual reincarnation.
Actually I do like the idea of a Chris Pine reincarnation because they never really were.
People like continuations with sequels so why not a continuation with something that was lost before its time?.
he's not Hawkman
shareHe's daed i thought.
shareHe is. And considering this movie takes place in 1984, if Chris were alive, he'd be well into his 90's or even older since he was of fighting age in World War I. It's currently unknown how he comes back or if it's really him.
shareHe would be in his late 60's early 70's....🙄🙄🙄🙄
shareWorld War I happened between 1914 to 1918. Chris Pine's character was a captain which would mean he would be well into his thirties (as Chris Pine was when he filmed the first WW movie). This means Chris' character would have had to be born in the later part of the 1800's. The guy likely would be close to a century old, if not, over a century old.
shareHis rank is not necessarily indicative of his age. People get promoted much more rapidly in wartime.
shareEven so... from the end of WWI in 1918 to the sequel in 1984 is 66 years.
Even if Pine’s character in the first Wonder Woman was something like 21 (which is way too young for that character), he would still be 87 for the sequel. Odds are he was actually several years older, so I’d safely say he’d be in his early 90’s at a minimum.
Let's say Steve was 18 during the events of the first Wonder Woman movie (he obviously isn't but let's pretend he's a new recruit), this would mean he was born in 1900. That would mean that in 1984, he would be 84. That is the absolute youngest he could possibly be.
shareCheck your math... If the film takes place in 1985, and Pine's character was only 18 at the start of the war, he'd have been born in 1896, which would make him 89. However, Pine was a captain, a rank that takes some time to earn, so presumably he was born in about 1880, give or take, making him somewhere between 98 to 103 years old were he to have lived to see 1985.
shareIt's baggage and the filmmakers still have no confidence in Gal to carry a film on her own.
shareI think Warner Brothers are well and truly aware that they have struck gold with Gadot as Wonder Woman. In fact she is currently DC’s only sure bet.
She certainly didn’t need Pine holding her hand to be the best thing about Justice League. I think this movie will be massive and it’s all down to the actor on the poster.
Ummm she can besides this is my 3rd most anticipated of this year after Dune and Tenet
shareGood lord, people. Gal Gadot is not a draw. She's nobody. Even America's Sweetheart Meg Ryan couldn't keep packing them in after a string of hit films. This WW film is a flash in the pan. It needs all the star power they can pack into it.
shareNever let death get in your way.
sharehes Likely dead still remember Wonder Woman was Burned by Humanity so it is keeping continuity With BVS Fake Steve Trevor is likely a Creation by Maxwell Lord
shareMove on..... well, we’re gonna move on with his “presumably” resurrected character and follow him in his new adventures in the sequel. There’s no other choice! :-]
shareActually, I don't think it is. From what I have read of what the plot is supposed to be, and how the villain operates, I think they may have found the perfect way to do it -- and in the process, keep the good chemistry between Chris Pine and Gal Gadot.
The villain is Maxwell Lord, whose superhuman powers (apparently modeld on what they've been in the comics since DC's latest reboot) work by exploiting and promoting people's underlying desires and inhibitions to make them do his bidding. It's not outright telepathic control, but powerful psychic influence, and apparently the more people who give in to his influence, the more powerful he gets. Well, Diana's underlying desire is to have Steve Trevor back, whom she loves, and apparently in this movie she gets that wish granted.
But, from all the hints, Diana, in order to weaken and ultimately defeat Lord, will almost certainly have to make the heartbreaking choice to let Steve go again. (Certainly he was not still around 30+ years older, for the events of Batman v. Superman and Justice League -- and in Justice League, Bruce Wayne, when told by Diana he needs to get over the death of Superman, directly taunts Diana for being hypocritical, given how she still hasn't moved past her loss of Steve Trevor.)
As long as the story is well told, and the movie is well done, I have no problem with them bringing Steve Trevor back in this way. It's a superhero movie, so the idea of resurrecting a dead character is acceptable in this context. And if Diana does indeed have to make the choice to let him go again, it doesn't undermine the finality of death the way sci-fi and comic resurrections too often do. It also adds more depth the Diana's character, and helps justify why she's been in the outside world, away from Themiscyra for a hundred years, and yet has remained almost totally inactive as a hero.
