It's thought that Wonder Woman 2 will take place during the Cold War, an interesting setting but not one fans hoping to see Diana Prince's present-day adventures are massively psyched about. Regardless, the cast is slowly starting to come together with Kristen Wiig set to play Cheetah and Pedro Pascal cast as...well, we don't know! However, The Tracking Board may have already shed some light on that.
Apparently, Pascal is quite likely playing "a slippery conman known in the script as Rex." He's the only character in there who could be described as a lead and Warner Bros. was apparently keen on making a diverse hire for the role. The sequel is also going to feature "an intimidating American businessman" but the site points out that it's unlikely the actor would be given such a minor part to play in the movie.
So, who is Rex? Looking at the comic books, it could be Rex Mason (who later becomes Metamorpho) or Rex Tyler (better known as Hourman). There are quite a few characters named Rex in the DC Universe, though, so we'll have to wait and see. As for Chris Pine's Steve Trevor, it's mentioned that the actor has a sequel option and insiders are cagey about what exactly he'll be getting up to this summer.
It's easy to imagine him making a cameo appearance of some sort but time will tell on that front. What do you guys think? As always, be sure to weigh in with your thoughts in the comments section below.
