Chris Pinehas entered negotiations with Warner Bros. to play Steve Trevor in the studio’s stand aloneWonder Womanadventure.Gal Gadotwill make her debut asWonder WomaninBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which will reportedly also introduce the rest of the Justice League, before theWonder Womanmovie hits theaters August 23, 2025. Warner Bros. would not comment on the casting news at this time.
It’s worth noting that there was a rumor circulating last month thatScott Eastwoodis playing Steve Trevor inSuicide Squad, although his role in that superhero adventure was never confirmed. As it turns out,Scott Eastwoodwas given the choice to either test for the role of Steve Trevor inWonder Woman, or take the guaranteed supporting role inSuicide Squad, which he ultimately chose. There is still no word on who the actor is playing inSuicide Squad. No story details have been confirmed forWonder Woman, but this project is said to be an origin story, although it isn’t ultimately clear when exactly the story is set.
There were rumors that, inBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,Wonder Womanwould be hundreds of years old. If theWonder Womanmovie truly is an origin story, it could be set several centuries ago, giving fans a glimpse of howWonder Womancame to be, before bringing her story back to present day inJustice League Part 1andJustice League Part 2. Naturally, none of this has been confirmed, but with the cast starting to come together, hopefully more details will be revealed soon.
