Rumour: Wonder Woman 2 set during Cold War, Chris Pine’s Steve Trevor returning

July 11, 2017 by Robert Kojder

Warning: There are spoilers for Wonder Woman below in this post…

According to Screen Rant, some production notes they have obtained have spilled the beans that the sequel to the critically and commercially successful DC Extended Universe superhero extravaganza Wonder Woman will be set during the Cold War, sometime in the 1980s, and features Gal Gadot’s Diana Prince battling the Soviet Union.

However, what’s really intriguing and even downright confusing is the rumor that Chris Pine will also be returning to the action, obviously considering that he met an unfortunate demise during the first film’s climax. If true, it will definitely be interesting to see how Steve Trevor is resurrected from the dead.

Thankfully, although not confirmed, director Patty Jenkins and much of the same production crew are reportedly set to return, so theoretically everything should be in safe hands.

For now, let us know below in the comments what you think of a potential Wonder Woman 2 set during the Cold War with a returning Steve Trevor…

Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.

Wonder Woman sees Patty Jenkins (Monster) directing a cast that includes Gal Gadot (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), Chris Pine (Star Trek), Connie Nielsen (Gladiator), Robin Wright (House of Cards), Danny Huston (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), David Thewlis (The Theory of Everything), Ewen Bremner (Snowpiercer), Said Taghmaoui (American Hustle), Elena Anaya (The Skin I Live In), Lisa Loven Kongsli (Force Majeure), Lucy Davis (Shaun of the Dead) and Ann Wolf.
