In the days leading up to and after Professor Marston's debut, Marston has been pretty outspoken about the film - particularly, it's misleading marketing campaign.
"This film has no relationship to Wonder Woman, other than using the name to sell to the public." Marston claimed to BigFanBoy. "They are riding the coattails of the very (rightfully!) successful Wonder Woman movie – even to the point of copying the promo posters."
While the film's cast have argued that the film wasn't trying to cash in on Wonder Woman's success, it appears that Marston believes differently. She even took to Twitter to highlight the comparison, sharing two similar looking posters for the two films.

Marston then hammered home the inaccuracy of Professor Marston's story, sparking the hashtag #LassoTheTruth. In the days since, Wonder Woman actors Lynda Carter and Susan Eisenberg have joined in on the campaign.

At the end of the day, Marston said she understands why the project was marketed the way it was, but wishes that the true story could eventually be told.
"I do not know if Angela Robinson pitched her project to the studios as 'the true story'." Marston explained. "If so, it's easy to see why she made the sale – sex does sell. There is a very well researched project out there being pitched right now; not only is it honest, but much, much more interesting!"
Professor Marston And The Wonder Women is in theaters now.
