During an interview with Screen Slam, the 36-year-old star, who plays World War I spy Steve Trevor in "Wonder Woman", was asked if adding a theme of humanity to the usual blockbuster action superhero movie was something that brought him into the project.
Pine said, "One of the reasons for sure. I agree that within this genre, it's difficult to do something new, and usually, you just see a bunch of people killing one another - in outfits and blowing up cities.
Joe and Anthony Russo are busy directing "Infinity War", which stars Robert Downey Jr, Josh Brolin, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner and Chris Pratt.
Pine further said Wonder Woman breaks the mold of this genre in featuring "a woman who's about love and compassion, and love trumps all. How great is that? That's a pretty crazy awesome thing.
