What movie do Chris Pine and Keira Knightley star in together?
The film is Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014), in which Pine plays the title role, according to Fandango (ticketing and film credits).
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014)
- Release year: 2014, per Fandango’s film credits (ticketing and film credits).
- Pine’s role: Jack Ryan (Fandango, ticketing and film credits).
- Co-star: Keira Knightley is named as co-star in the research brief, but no retrieved cast listing confirms the pairing independently.
Is Chris Pine in Spiderman?
- Wikipedia records a voice role as Peter Parker / Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) (Wikipedia, public encyclopedia).
- No live-action Spider-Man appearance is confirmed in the sources retrieved for this guide.
The catch: the co-star pairing that readers search for is the claim this guide could not verify independently, so it stays provisional until a cast listing confirms it.
Who is Chris Pine in a relationship with?
Wikipedia is the only reference in the retrieved material that names his partners with dates, and it lists two relationships.
Is Chris Pine married in real life?
- Marriage is not confirmed in the sources retrieved for this guide.
- Wikipedia records a relationship with British actress Annabelle Wallis from 2018 to early 2022 (Wikipedia, public encyclopedia).
Chris Pine wife
- Wikipedia lists designer Keana Sky Wenger as a partner since 2023 (Wikipedia, public encyclopedia), and the reliable material retrieved names no wife.
- A ticketing listing names other partners, but the reliable sources retrieved do not support those names, so this guide does not repeat them (BookMyShow (ticketing listing)).
What this means: the reliable record gives two named relationships and no marriage, which is narrower than search results suggest.
Is Chris Pine a nice guy in real life?
No dated, attributed source in the material retrieved describes his personal conduct, so a verdict on what he is like day to day would be opinion.
What are some of Chris Pine’s controversies?
- Arrested in New Zealand on March 1, 2014, near Methven, while filming Z for Zachariah, after failing a roadside breath alcohol test (Wikipedia, public encyclopedia).
- Pleaded guilty to drunk driving on March 17, 2014 (Wikipedia, public encyclopedia).
- Penalties: a six-month driving disqualification in New Zealand and an order to pay NZ$93 in reparation (Wikipedia, public encyclopedia).
The one controversy in the reliable record is a 2014 drunk-driving case, and that case says nothing about temperament. A broader verdict on his character would need a dated, named account behind it, and none is available here.
The trade-off: the legal record is concrete and dated, but it is also the only documented conduct, so readers who want a character judgment will be working from opinion.
Does Chris Pine support Donald Trump?
No endorsement or political stance is confirmed in the material retrieved for this guide, so the question cannot be answered yes or no from verified records.
Chris Pine political statements in interviews
- No dated interview in the retrieved material records a stance on Donald Trump.
- Any stated political view requires a named interview and a date, and none meets that bar here.
Readers searching for politics find nothing verified, while the most documented public record of Pine’s conduct is a 2014 arrest. That gap is the editorial point: a verified record can say a lot about a legal case and nothing about a political view.
The pattern: any article that presents Pine as a Trump supporter is repeating an unsupported claim, and it should be cut or rebuilt around a named, dated statement.
Confirmed facts and what’s unclear
Four items meet the bar of a named, dated, reliable source. Eight do not, and they stay on the open list.
Confirmed
- Born August 26, 1980, in Los Angeles (Britannica, reference encyclopedia)
- Feature debut in The Princess Diaries 2, 2004 (Britannica, reference encyclopedia)
- Star Trek reboot, 2009, and Wonder Woman, 2017 (GQ, men’s magazine)
- Arrest in New Zealand, March 1, 2014 (Wikipedia, public encyclopedia)
What’s unclear
- Current place of residence
- Marriage and any wife
- A live-action Spider-Man role
- Political stance on Donald Trump
- Poolman release year, 2023 or 2024 (Fandango, ticketing and film credits)
- Hell or High Water role, reported by one low-confidence site (PublicReport.uk, biography aggregator)
- Agnosticism and an Emmy nomination, listed by one profile site (The Famous People (celebrity profile site))
- Height, age figures and net worth from non-authoritative pages
The trade-off: the confirmed column covers the career and the 2014 case, while the open column holds most of what readers search for.
On the record
None of these lines is a direct interview quote. Each is a paraphrased record statement from the publisher named beneath it.
Rotten Tomatoes’ editorial guide lists Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Hell or High Water, Star Trek, Wonder Woman and Unstoppable among Pine’s Certified Fresh titles.
GQ ranks Wonder Woman (2017) as Pine’s best film, with Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Beyond (2016) at 3 and 4.
GQ (men’s magazine)
The Famous People profile describes his Wonder Woman role as Steve Trevor, a World War British spy and Gal Gadot’s love interest.
The Famous People (celebrity profile site)
The documented record has a clear spine: television from 2003, the Star Trek reboot in 2009 (GQ, men’s magazine), and Wonder Woman in 2017. Personal and political claims rest on thinner ground, and the sites that list them rarely name an author or a date. For editors checking a Chris Pine claim, the choice is clear: cite the dated record, or leave the claim out until a named, dated interview supports it.
The same split between dated record and unverified claims shapes other actor profiles on this site, including Carey Mulligan: Films, Marriage, Age and Career Facts and Eiza González: Career, Relationships and Public Facts.
