One of the defining moments of the 2017 hit Wonder Woman was the death of Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), when he sacrificed himself aboard an exploding airplane to save countless lives. It was a brave and heroic moment that taught Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) the good and the bad of the humanity she had newly sworn to protect, and gave an already great movie (still DC's only post-Christopher Nolan masterpiece) an infusion of emotion.
Well, guess who's back? Steve Trevor - at least according to Wonder Woman 1984 director Patty Jenkins, who tweeted a surprise image of the character on Wednesday. The picture shows Pine looking quite alive and very much a part of the new movie's '80s setting, just based on fashion alone (tube socks, shorts above the knee, puffy hair). Conspiracy theorists may speculate that this is perhaps a dream sequence (which, who knows, it still could be), but would Jenkins go through the trouble of the first major image reveal being of Steve if it was just a dream?
Will this return from the dead carry over into future sequels that take place in the present day? And does this cheapen the experience of Steve's dramatic death scene in the first film? If you were in the camp of fans that wanted to see Princess Diana move on from her first love in the world of man and grow a little, this could throw a wrench in your plans.
Another new image released from WW84 shows us Gadot as Wonder Woman, perhaps pondering who shot J.R. (Google it, kids) as she looks at multiple television screens bombarded with the brightness of the '80s. Not seen in the new images revealed is Kristen Wiig, who will be starring in "WW84" as classic Wonder Woman villain, the Cheetah.
