It appears Chris Pine is done with superheroes. He's spent the past few years being bombarded by questions about Star Trek 4, a movie it's increasingly apparent will never happen (at least not with the original cast).
Now, though, it seems the time has come for journalists to stop asking the actor about his Marvel and DC roles.
Pine played Steve Trevor in Wonder Woman, with the character making the ultimate sacrifice in the movie's closing moments in a bid to save the world. He then reprised the role in the poorly received Wonder Woman 1984 through a bizarre set of circumstances that, kind of, saw the World War I hero rise from the dead.
On the Marvel front, the actor lent his voice to Earth-1610's blonde Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. He died during a battle with The Kingpin, though Pine's voice was heard over the end credits when he sang a now-infamous Christmas song in character as the web-slinging superhero.
ComicBook.com recently caught up with Pine to discuss his role in Disney Animation's Wish. They asked if he'd be open to returning to either comic book franchise amid all those big changes and Multiversal shenanigans; let's just say you won't need your reading glasses to dive into his lengthy answer!
"No," Pine stated.
We shouldn't be surprised by this, of course, as it's not the first time Pine has made his desire to move on from these projects. Asked about Wonder Woman 3 (which has since been scrapped by DC Studios) last year, he said, "I think poor Steve is dead, but I wish them all the best on the third one."
That same year, Pine was asked if he was losing any sleep over not being included in Spider-Man: No Way Home. "That's a full team already," Pine acknowledged, referring to Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield. "I'll happily miss out on that."
While his Spider-Man was killed off fairly quickly in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, he still made a lasting impact. The song is one Pine remembers fondly as he noted, "I had a lot of fun singing those songs; it was a great time" (however, he didn't return for any sort of cameo role in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse).
So, that's a "no" to the Captain Kirk actor appearing in the Marvel or DC Universes moving forward. We're not sure why he seems so completely uninterested in the genre, but perhaps he didn't have the best experience in the DCEU?
