Wonder Woman is still performing well in theaters, but now fans can get a closer look at the character's origins in the new trailer for Professor Marston & the Wonder Women.

The film takes a look at the life of William Moulton Marston, who created the character that would show up in All-Star Comics #8 in 1941. The film will go beyond the pen and paper process of creating her though, revealing the two women who acted as inspiration for the character while also acting out a real life fantasy of their own.

Professor Marston & the Wonder Women stars Luke Evans, Rebecca Hall, JJ Feild, Connie Britton, Bella Heathcote, Maggie Castle, Allie Gallerani, Chris Conroy, Christopher Paul Richards, and Ken Cheeseman.

You can watch the full trailer above, and the film's description is located below. Professor Marston & the Wonder Women hits theaters on October 27, 2017.

In a superhero origin tale unlike any other, the film is the incredible true story of what inspired Harvard psychologist Dr. William Moulton Marston to create the iconic Wonder Woman character in the 1940's. 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.

As for Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, the film has already surpassed $700 million worldwide, and currently enjoys an 84.78 on ComicBook.com's composite rankings. You can find the synopsis below.

Gal Gadot returns as the title character in the epic action-adventure from director Patty Jenkins. Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.

Wonder Woman is directed by Patty Jenkins and is written by Allan Heinberg, Geoff Johns, and Zack Snyder. The film stars Gal Gadot (Diana Prince/Wonder Woman), Chris Pine (Steve Trevor), Robin Wright (General Antiope), Connie Nielsen (Queen Hippolyta), David Thewlis, Elena Anaya, Lucy Davis (Etta Candy), Danny Huston, Ewen Bremmer, Doutzen Kroes, Samantha Jo (Euboea), Florence Kasumba (Senator Acantha), Said Taghmaoui, Eleanor Matsuura (Epione), Emily Carey (Young Diana), and Lisa Loven Kongsli (Menalippe).
