Chris Pine Reportedly Up for Steve Trevor Role in 'Wonder Woman' Solo Movie

Wonder Woman will make her first appearance in the DC Cinematic Universe in Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice but Gal Gadot's character will be getting her own movie down the road. And apparently, Chris Pine could be a part of that film!

Variety reports that the actor is in talks to portray Steve Trevor in the movie. Rumors had said that Scott Eastwood would play the part, but the site notes that he was given the choice to test for that role or take a guaranteed supporting role in Suicide Squad.

In related Wonder Woman news, former Latino Review and current HeroicHollywood scooper El Mayimbe reports the character is actually centuries old in Dawn of Justice. This would lend some credence to the rumors that the Wonder Woman solo film would be a prequel to the rest of the DC Cinematic Universe.

In other news, the latest rumor about Dawn of Justice is a juicy one that, if true, could explain a lot of what we have heard about the film so far. The rumor involves Jared Leto's version of The Joker from the upcoming Suicide Squad.

Noted spoiler and scoop site Latino-Review reports that Leto will appear as the famous villain in a flashback scene in Dawn of Justice to recreate an iconic scene from the comics in which Joker beats Jason Todd, aka Robin, to death, likely with a crowbar. This would explain the reports that Ben Affleck's version of Batman had given up crimefighting until Superman's emergence, and it would also explain why the Joker is apparently in jail during Suicide Squad.

Leto will reportedly film scenes for both Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad while in Toronto. Furthermore, the site reports that Affleck will show up briefly in Suicide Squad, and notes the Batmobile has been spotted in the Canadian city. Finally, Robin's costume will apparently be on display in a glass case in the Batcave in Dawn of Justice.
