There was a storyline done, in the comics, where a Steve Trevor from a parallel dimension somehow ends up in the primary timeline/dimension. In Alt.Steve's dimension, Diana died fighting in WWI and he took up the call to protect people and bring about world peace by killing Ares, so when he crash lands in the primary timeline/dimension, he is shocked to see Diana alive, well, and in the (because of when this was written) late 20th century as part of a group of superheroes. Meanwhile, primary timeline/dimension Diana, lost her Steve in WWI so she's shocked to see Alt.Steve alive, piloting, and wearing a uniform that reflected elements of her own Amazonian attire (the W symbol, the color scheme, etc.), so it included flashbacks for Alt.Steve where he had watched Diana die in a mirror of what Diana watched in her timeline.
IF they did something along those lines, technically Steve Trevor still dies and the person Diana sees in 2019 has the name Steve Trevor/is played by Chris Pine, but would not be the same man. As I recall, in the comic, there were all sorts of differences. Alt.Steve had a horrible relationship with his parents, he'd lost his team (Sameer, Chief, Charlie, Etta) one by one after Diana's death, he was a lefty, he was less patient, he had a lot of anger, and that kind of stuff. If the movie versions do something like this, Chris Pine could come back and play some alternate version of Trevor, giving him a chance to really play with what would be the same/different about this different version of Steve Trevor. You'd get to have Diana deal with how this is Steve, but he isn't HER-Steve, and seeing how she handles the differences & similarities between the two Steves. And they'd be able to have some flashbacks to the alternate reality/timeline where Diana doesn't survive WWI so she's not around for the events of B VS. S/JUSTICE LEAGUE and Steve had worked at it.
I've also seen some fans speculating about Ares coming back, and purposefully bringing Steve back to life in order to torture Diana. That he puts his own essence in Steve, in order to get close to Diana and kill her with the hands of her beloved (since she believes in Love, and he thinks it especially fitting that her Love be what kills her), so then Steve has to try to fight that war within himself. There's lots of precedence in the comics, for that kind of story as well. And it doesn't really take away from Steve's death, because it isn't Diana bringing him back a la Clark/Superman in JL, it is a move by the villain to try to wreck the ultimate havoc on the hero by using her heart against her.
