There is a pretty strong rumour that just as Ares was a god-in-human-guise during WONDER WOMAN(2017) that Hades will be a god-in-disguise during WW84. We also know that Steve, in some way or another, comes back because we've seen Chris Pine on the set and Patty Jenkins has confirmed as much.
In mythology, Hades was not the evil guy, collecting souls as a dark (unwanted) hobby, that we've seen in a certain Disney movie. In Greek mythology, he was supposedly a calm, even tempered sort, who believed in balance. All were equal in his eyes, when their time came. It mattered not if you were a King or a slave, you were dead and it was time for your judgement. He was tricked into his position, yet he took it seriously. And he was a somewhat sad, tragic fellow.
If they keep with that in the movie, then perhaps he isn't a villain. Maybe he is seeking Diana's help or he throws in with her on something she's already doing. The first World War, followed so quickly by a second one, threw off the balance of Life/Death, and he fears that if [since this is the era of the Cold War] the super powers get to nuking each other, that the balance will be irrevocably thrown to the side of Death. They can weave something in about how, if the balance gets past a certain level of imbalance, that it releases the Titans or some other such calamity, so Diana absolutely MUST keep things from falling that far out of balance. That she defeated his uncle, something his collective brothers/sisters could not do ages ago - so he believes she is strong enough to take on this task.
And as for Steve, maybe Hades offers Steve a deal. He can help Diana, returning the balance/keeping the balance at the status quo until it has time to right itself from WWI/WWII. And in return, Steve can live again. Or it might be an offer to Diana, saying that the last time she had her most loyal of companions with her- so he gives her back her companion to once more have her six. However, seeing as there was no Steve in JUSTICE LEAGUE, it follows that we have to assume Steve doesn't get to stick around. I'm thinking that Hades can't give Steve back forever, either he doesn't have the power OR it throws off the balance somehow so he can't do it-- but, owing to his own love story [or kidnap story, depending on your point of view] with Persephone, he remembers how Steve had wished he and Diana had more time, Hades also knows how vital Steve had been to Diana's success against Ares in WWI. So, he offers to let her have Steve back for the duration of her mission, in order for her to have her loyal companion and grant she/Steve's wish for "more time".
Now if you'll excuse me, I just broke my own heart and I need some stupid comedy to perk me back up. Toodles.
