In Wonder Woman 1984, Prince comes into contact with the Dreamstone and unknowingly wishes for Trevor to come back to life, causing his soul to manifest in the body of an unnamed man (portrayed by Kristoffer Polaha), with Prince recognizing him as the former while everyone else sees the latter.
In Wonder Woman, Steve meets his untimely end in a last ditch attempt to save the city of London from a terrorist attack; he hijacked a bomber aircraft and and blew it up mid-flight, killing himself in the process.
Unfortunately, a big problem is the way in which Pine's Steve Trevor is brought back into the fold. The American pilot tragically dies in Wonder Woman, but he's brought back via magic at the cost of Wonder Woman's powers.
As Maxwell and the rest of the world renounced their wishes, all of the wishes exchanges were reversed, causing Cheetah to transform back into Barbara. Barbara was seen alone and in human form looking over a cliffside at the rising sun, presumably maintaining her superhuman powers despite losing Cheetah-like form.
In the late 60s, Diana gave up her powers and cut her ties with the Amazons to stay with Steve, but he was killed off. In the mid 70s, he was brought back to life by Aphrodite and Wonder Woman's powers were restored. Steve was renamed Steve Howard. Then in 1978, he was killed off once again.
Diana chose to effectively see this man through rose-colored glasses until she realized by the film's end she couldn't continue living a lie. Not only did she need to let Steve go, but she also had to let this man go on and continue his own life.
She was already weaker than in the original because of the contract where she lost her powers for her lover, but she still didn't feel like the strong superhero we all know and love. The other aspects of the movie were also weak and underplayed.
The 1980s setting of the film doesn't add much interest or depth to Wonder Woman's journey as WWI did in the first movie. The character of Cheetah falls flat, with a rushed arc and lack of screen time, leaving Wonder Woman without a memorable villain.
But later, having united with Dreamstone-Max, she makes a second appeal: she wants to become an apex predator. And so, she becomes Cheetah in Act III, in spite of having already used her wish in Act I. In so doing, she breaks rule number one of the Dreamstone's operational logic.
What happens to Steve at the end of Wonder Woman 1984?
In Diana's case, she wishes for Steve Trevor to return, but her powers are sapped from her. Steve does come back, sort of. His spirit takes over another man, but Diana looks past his outer-body and only sees Steve on the inside.
He soon came to understand Diana's true potential, and right before he selflessly yet seemingly sacrificed himself (to thwart Ares' plan and finally end the World War I for good), he passionately expressed his unwavering belief in Diana's ability to save the world, as well as his unwavering love for her.
It stars Gal Gadot as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman, alongside Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Robin Wright, and Connie Nielsen. Set in 1984 during the Cold War, the film follows Diana and her past love Steve Trevor as they face off against Maxwell Lord and Cheetah.
Gal Gadot, known for her iconic role as Wonder Woman, is also a super mom. Married to Jaron Varsano since 2008, the couple has welcomed four daughters: Alma in 2011, Maya in 2017, Daniella in 2021, and Ori in 2024.
At this time, actor Chris Pine is not married—either that, or he's really good at keeping secrets. Pine, the son of actors Robert Pine and Gwynne Gilford, has never been married. However, the actor has had a few high-profile relationships.
Wonder Woman losing her powers to her wish for Steve's return is the beginning of her temporary downfall. It's implied she's been pining for him ever since his death: She goes to dinner alone, watches planes with longing, and keeps his watch by a picture of herself at his family ranch.
Cheetah (Kristen Wiig) is the secondary antagonist in the action film "Wonder Woman 1984". Cheetah, aka Barbara Minerva, is an American archaelogist who locates the lost city of Urzkartaga in Africa.
What happened to Diana's boyfriend in Wonder Woman 1984?
In Wonder Woman 1984, Prince comes into contact with the Dreamstone and unknowingly wishes for Trevor to come back to life, causing his soul to manifest in the body of an unnamed man (portrayed by Kristoffer Polaha), with Prince recognizing him as the former while everyone else sees the latter.
“Wonder Woman 1984 was too long, villain was poorly developed (and then at the last minute the gave him a back story). Points that were supposed to be touching felt lame and contrived or lacked the thorough writing needed to elicit sympathy”
"The Lies" storyline reveals that numerous events from the previous Wonder Woman series, in which Diana was made the Queen of the Amazons and the God of War, were in fact all an illusion created by a mysterious villain, and she had never once been back to Themyscira ever since she left, nor is she capable of returning ...
His physical body is not revived. He isn't simply conjured into being. No, it's just his soul that has returned — in another man's body. Eventually, Wonder Woman is forced to renounce her wish in order to get her powers back and save the world.
Steve's relationship with Wonder Woman had also evolved since he now knew about her double life as Diana Prince, making their romance more intimate. With the entire world thinking he was dead, Steve dyed his hair black, became a secret agent and changed his name to Steve Howard.
