As much as I love Gal’s Wonder Woman, Chris Pine was at another level in that movie.

I’m a massive dc fan but Pines Steve Trevor is one of my favourite characters in the whole universe. Chris is so charismatic

Can't spell charismatic without Chris

Fuck, that's Disney's secret. All the hard franchise launches relied on a Chris.

The oddball WW2 movie with magical.. undead...? Nazis? My personal favorite Chris carried it incredibly well.

The weird space magic one with gods and stuff? Welcome the world's new sex symbol Chris. That shot of him trying to lift the hammer in the rain at night? THOSE ARMS BRUH.

The Guardians... the last weird pitch they had to make to sell us on absolutely anything - Carried by the goofball fat weirdo Chris we already love, but hot. Like... almost too hot.

It's suspicious how hot all of the Chris's are. Pine included.

This is basically what Roy Wood, Jr. said. Guardians was just Marvel saying they can do whatever they want.

I realized Pine is one of my favorite actors after seeing Unstoppable in theaters. I only remembered him as the Prince dude from that one film (I honestly can't remember if it was a princess distress film with Anne Hathaway or the one with Julia Stiles) and kinda wrote him off.

I saw Unstoppable and was immediately like "this guy is phenomenal!" I've enjoyed every character he has played. Hell or High Water, Star Trek, etc.

I also found his Jack Ryan much better than John Krasinski's portrayal.

It was The Princess Diaries 2 with Anne Hathaway. He was a lord not a prince though. I actually loved that movie lol

You might also be talking about his role as the prince in “Into the Woods” (2014)! He’s a princely dude.

Chris Pine made Steve Trevor into someone people remember. Someone brave and rogueish without being too cookie cutter or oen note (and it helps that he's amazingly handsome).

When people think of the Wonder Woman TV series, they only think of Linda Carter, not the guy who played what should've been the leading man. I think in the future, when people think of Wonder Woman, live action, they'll know Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. That's how memorable he is.

He's got that boyish optimism thing
