In a superhero origin tale unlike any other, Professor Marston & the Wonder Women is the incredible true story of what inspired Harvard psychologist Dr. William Moulton Marston to create the iconic Wonder Woman character in the 1940s.
While Marston’s feminist superhero was criticized by censors for her ‘sexual perversity’, he was keeping a secret that could have destroyed him. Marston’s muses for the Wonder Woman character were his wife Elizabeth Marston and their lover Olive Byrne, two empowered women who defied convention: working with Marston on human behavior research — while building a hidden life with him that rivaled the greatest of superhero disguises.
Watch above as the cast of Professor Marston & the Wonder Women marvel at the origin story of the most famous female superhero in comic book history in this new piece! The film starring Luke Evans, Rebecca Hall, and Bella Heathcote and written and directed by Angela Robinson will hit theaters Oct. 13.
