'Wonder Woman 1984': Chris Pine Compares Steve, Diana To Watson And Sherlock Holmes

The trailers of “Wonder Woman 1984” have revealed that Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) will be very different in the sequel when compared to the first movie. The character is back after facing the brutalities of war, and Pine explained how his character’s role will be different this time around.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Pine compared his role in the sequel to that of Watson in the Sherlock Holmes stories. The actor explained that just as Watson’s role is to help and support the detective, Steve’s role in the upcoming film will be help and support his girlfriend Diana (Gal Gadot).

Steve in the first film was a “world-weary soldier,” Pine said. The character had seen the “depravity” that humankind is capable of. Now that the war is over, and the world is much more prosperous and technologically advanced, Steve will be seen as a “wide-eyed and joyful” man exploring this new world.

Although the world has moved on after the war, there will still be threats. Diana will need a new suit of armor to take on the villain. The new cover of Entertainment Weekly magazine gives the fans a closer look at the superheroe’s Golden Eagle armor in “Wonder Woman 1984.”

Gadot also shared the cover photo on her Instagram page. The actress said that she is excited for the fans to watch the film in thaters.

The Golden Eagle armor may be needed in the fight against Cheetah (Kristen Wiig). The villain will begin her story as Barbara Minerva, who will be Diana’s colleague at the Natural History Museum. She will be “shy” and “socially awkward,” and it appears Max Lord (Pedro Pascal) may have something to do with her transformation into the beastly creature.

“Wonder Woman 1984” has been directed by Patty Jenkins. It will be released on June 5.
