Professor Marston & The Wonder Women” tells the true story of the titular Harvard psychologist who invented the lie detector, engaged in a polyamorous relationship long before anyone knew what that meant, and created the iconic Wonder Woman character — which he based on the relationships with the women in his life. It’s a fascinating story and one that should shed some light on a little known chapter of comic book history.

Written and directed by Angela Robinson (“The L Word,” “True Blood“) and starring Luke Evans, Bella Heathcote, and Rebecca Hall, “Professor Marston & The Wonder Women” likely opens later this year.
