If you thought Wonder Woman's onscreen origin story was pretty wild, it's nothing compared to her offscreen origin story.

Professor Marston and the Wonder Women delves into the complicated lives of the trio behind Diana: WIlliam Moulton Marston (Luke Evans), a Harvard psychologist; Elizabeth Marston (Rebecca Hall), his wife; and Olive Byrne (Bella Heathcote), their young lover.

Just as Wonder Woman assumed a secret identity in the comics, the trio hid their unconventional relationship from polite society in the 1940s.

Professor Marston and the Wonder Women will be in theaters October 27, 2017.
