Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood) and Liam Hemsworth (The Hunger Games) tested for the male lead in Wonder Woman, according to Justin Kroll and Jeff Sneider.
Last week, Kroll revealed that Scott Eastwood (Fury) isn’t playing Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman’s love interest/handler, in Suicide Squad. Sneider contacted Kroll and now has some additional information on the matter.

“Scott Eastwood is not playing Steve Trevor,” Jeff said on the Meet The Movie Press podcast. “What Justin has heard was that Scott Eastwood basically had the choice: he could have a role in Suicide Squad – a smaller role – or he could test for the male lead in Wonder Woman – alongside guys like Alexander Skarsgard and Liam Hemsworth. And he chose the Suicide Squad role. We don’t know what that role is. I’m told that he’s signed on for three pictures. But it isn’t clear if Wonder Woman is actually one of them.”
Don’t expect Skarsgard or Hemsworth to land the role as Jeff says the role of “Steve Trevor is still open, and they are not going back to those guys for testing now that they have a new director.”
