On Threads, the DC Studios co-head responded to a now-deleted post purporting that casting was underway for the role of Steve Trevor in Man of Tomorrow. All Gunn wrote in his reply was a simple “Nope.” Check out a screenshot of the exchange, courtesy of the DC Film News X account:
When Will Steve Trevor Be Introduced in the DCU?
Steve Trevor is one of the most prominent characters in Wonder Woman lore, so it stands reason to believe the character will eventually be featured in the DCU at some point. Moviegoers are familiar with Chris Pine’s portrayal in the DC Extended Universe, where Steve is introduced as an American pilot fighting in World War I. There are comics arcs where Steve operates in modern times (the New 52), so rumors about the character showing up in something like Man of Tomorrow weren’t completely unfounded. Given Steve’s association with the United States military and ARGUS, he conceivably could have had a role to play there, helping flesh out the DCU’s version of ARGUS and the U.S. government.
If Steve isn’t set to appear in Man of Tomorrow, it raises the question of when he’ll show up. The obvious answer would be the in-development Wonder Woman reboot, though that isn’t a guarantee. Diana Prince’s dynamic with Steve was a major part of the two DCEU Wonder Woman movies, so it’s possible Gunn and Co. want to take things in a different direction for the DCU. Rather than retread familiar territory, it might be a smart idea to focus on other areas of Wonder Woman mythology for the character’s first film in the DCU. That said, portraying Steve in modern times (as part of ARGUS for instance) could be different enough that it could feel fresh.
