Wonder Woman 1984appears to be swapping over the original film ’s traditional Diana Prince and Steve Trevor roles in a smart change of mind of convention . Chris Pine ’s Stevebecame a tragical pattern in the 2017Wonder Womanmovie , when he sacrificed his own liveliness so as to foreclose the exit of a deadly new petrol concocted by the villainous opposition scientist , Doctor Poison . The red of Steve has been a determine part of Diana ’s character throughout her DCEU land tenure , both invigorate her and warn her of humanity ’s potential for vehemence . Chris Pine ’s return was announced well in advance ofWonder Woman 1984 , but the recent drone passing confirms that , somehow , Steve has been return to Diana .
InPatty Jenkins ' firstWonder Womanoffering , Diana ’s source story more or less follows the track forged by the early DC comic books . Steve washes ashore onto the island of Themyscira and is saved by Diana who befriends him and render to the outside Earth in club to fulfill what she perceives to be the Amazonian purpose - protect humanity from evil . Having shun the existence of man for so long and remain within the isolated confines of Paradise Island , Diana ’s arrival in 1918 London is not a quiet transition .

InWonder Woman 1984 , the the boot is very much on the other foot . Steve might have been the fashionable , inconspicuous undercover agent about town in the early twentieth century , but almost 70 years have eliminate since then and , in the bright neon glow of the 1980s , Steve does n’t have a go at it his tape decks from his turtle . Diana , meanwhile , has spent decennary aline to mankind ’s culture and is now fully take in into the outside world . This is demonstrated in the recentWonder Woman 1984trailerwhen Diana is describing the " art " of the city and Steve begin to apprise the visual qualities of a nearby trash can until Diana hilariously even out him . This moment is almost a ended mirror of Steve undertake to hide out Diana ’s blade from public view in 1918 , because she believes it ’s satisfactory to brandish one on the streets of London .
Both moments offer a breath of levity , and it ’s manifest that where Diana was the one find out herself in exotic territory before , it ’s now Steve ’s turn . Expect plenty more timeline - base confusion in the full motion-picture show , as Chris Pine ’s lineament is confronted with elephantine mobile earphone , arcade games and glam rock . Aside from the comedic aspect of the transposition , however , Steve have on Diana ’s usual theatrical role inWonder Woman 1984will help exhibit how far the Amazonian has come as a character since the original movie . Perhaps more significantly , the reversed moral force will also appropriate exploration into howDianaand Steve ’s romance has survived after being on hold for so long . Steve aided Diana ’s passage into a new Earth inWonder Woman ; seeing Diana regress the favour will help reveal how her feelings have change or fortify over the year she spent Steve - less .
Ultimately , Diana ’s inexperience and naivety to the world admit her cut through prejudice , hatred and government nonsense to unite people towards a common goal and help bring about a semblance of peace . If Steve is the one find himself in a unknown fresh world inWonder Woman 1984 , will he reach something exchangeable ? The DCEU has already play up how Diana becomes more wearied and conservative after Steve ’s death , but the return of her buff and his old - fashioned attitudes could violate through Diana ’s skepticism and the misanthropical commerce of the eighties and furnish the same inspiration Diana did in the originalWonder Womanstory .
