Chris Pine is used to starring roles, but in Wonder Woman, he'll be playing a secondary character—and he couldn't be happier about it!

The 35-year-old hunk will reportedly play leading lady Gal Gadot's love interest Steve Trevor in the highly anticipated movie, and as reported on Premiere (as excerpted by Screenrant.com), he's "super excited" about it.

"Gal Gadot is super talented," he said of his co-star. "Patty Jenkins [Wonder Woman's director] will perform, and we will shoot in film..."

The Star Trek hunk seems to be approaching the film from a feminist viewpoint, too. "What excites me most is to work in a movie with a superhero woman," he said. "With a woman in the lead role. I am teamed with this intelligent, beautiful and strong woman to defeat the villains and save humanity."
