Chris Pine is sharing his thoughts on DC axing a third installment ofWonder Woman.

The actor, who starred in 2017s Wonder Woman and 2020s Wonder Woman 1984, recently told Business Insider that he was stunned after learning a third movie in the superhero franchise wasnt happening.

Im stunned that they said no to a billion-dollar franchise and decided to pivot elsewhere, thePoolmandirector said. I dont know what the reasoning was behind that; its above my pay grade, but Wonder Woman is an incredible character. Patty [Jenkins] is such a thoughtful director. Pine played Steve Trevor, the love interest of Gal Gadots Diana Prince/Wonder Woman character, in the first two movies; however, he noted that he wouldnt have been involved in a third film.

Me. No. Homie is dead. Steve is gonzo. It would be ridiculous to try to bring me back, the Star Trek star said of his character, who died at the end of the first film but returned in the sequel when Gadots character wished him back into reality.

Elsewhere in the interview, Pine also recalled his reason for initially turning down the Wonder Woman role.

I had no interest in playing the boyfriend, and it sounded like second fiddle, the Princess Diaries 2 actor explained. Then, in talking to Patty, the way she described it was, Forget the superhero of it all, this is a romance, this isCasablanca, thats the movie I want to make. I was like, Oh, now that is very cool because when have you seen a superhero film that was a love story, ultimately? That had nothing to do with blowing shit up.

Wonder Woman 3 was canceled when James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios and initiated their overhaul of the DC Comics Extended Universe.
