In an interview with Entertainment Weekly last month, Gadot and Pine discussed the filming process of the “boat scene”–a sequence that involves Diana and Steve Trevor alone on a boat at night, sailing from Themyscira to London, making occasionally awkward smalltalk. When Diana decides to turn in for the evening and get some rest, Steve balks at her perfectly innocent invitation for him to sleep beside her.
Surprisingly, and delightfully,
Jenkins allowed Gadot and Pine to improvise the entire scene. Pine himself admitted to EW that he enjoyed the opportunity getting to play Steve as a comical foil to Gadot’s “straight woman,” which allowed for the scene to play out naturally… although he added that Gadot had the harder job of setting him up to react to those jokes.
“She’s delivering lines like, ‘My father is Zeus’,” he tells EW. “That is just so ridiculous. And she has to say it with a straight face, with a certain amount of innocence and earnestness. I get to react like any human being would to hearing something as ridiculous as that. So I had it easy.'”
