It may feel like throuples are a distinctly modern romantic arrangement – but this couldn’t be further from the case.
In fact, consensual non-monogamy, such as a ménage à trois, goes back centuries. It can even be found in the bible.
Recently, David Haye has been the subject of speculation surrounding his private life, with fans claiming that the ex-boxer is in a three-way relationship with model Sian Osborne and The Saturdays singer Una Healy.
On Valentine’s Day, Haye appeared to confirm the rumours, with Healy also sharing a coy message on Instagram alluding to the relationship.
When it comes to depictions of polyamorous relationships in film and TV, good examples have traditionally been few and far between.

The Movie: "Professor Marston and the Wonder Women"
Where You Can Stream It: Tubi, Kanopy, and Freevee
The Pitch: This hidden gem from 2017 is billed as the true story of the invention of Wonder Woman, and indeed, it is a partly fictionalized biographical film about William Moulton Marston (Luke Evans), who created the character. But this is about as far from a comic book movie as you can get. Instead, it's a tender love story, the kind that's scarcely told. It's not about two people who find each other, but three, and the fulfillment, exploration, and brave subversion that comes with their lifelong relationship.

“Wonder Woman” star Lynda Carter has a special message to kick off 2022 Pride.
The original Wonder Woman, who led the TV series of the same name from 1975 to 1979, tweeted “Happy Pride! So excited to celebrate with all my Lgbtqia+ friends and fans” with an illustration of the DC superhero with a rainbow background.
After one user replied, “Wonder Woman Is Not A Super Hero For Gays!,” Carter clapped back: “You’re right. She’s a superhero for bisexuals!” Carter linked to a 2016 Polygon article in which comic book writer Greg Rucka explained Wonder Woman’s bisexuality in his comic “Wonder Woman: Year One.”
Carter continued, “I didn’t write ‘Wonder Woman,’ but if you want to argue that she is somehow not a queer or trans icon, then you’re not paying attention. Every time someone comes up to me and says that ‘WW’ helped them while they were closeted,...

One of the biggest rivals of Wonder Woman made her live-action debut in 1984 and it wasn’t exactly the best incarnation of the character. It’s okay that Patty Jenkins deviated from the original source material to carve her own path; however, Cheetah never felt like a big villain in the 2020 feature despite being known as one of the most popular and celebrated DC characters. Created by William Moulton Marston, the original Cheetah made her debut in Wonder Woman (Volume 1) #6 in 1943. Though the third incarnation of the character, Barbara Ann Minerva, first appeared in Wonder Woman (vol.2)

Created by psychologist William Moulton Marston and artist H.G. Peter, Wonder Woman made her first appearance in All Star Comics issue #8 on October 21, 1941 and it marked a historic moment in a landscape where female superheroes were rare in entertainment and media. Fast forward to modern-day times and that statement remained true, with both Marvel and DC failing to produce a single female-led superhero film. Wonder Woman had actually been in development since the late ’90s; however, it wasn’t until 2010 that the film was officially confirmed. Patty Jenkins eventually signed on in 2015 and became the first

This holiday season, one of the few bright spots for families unable to go to theaters—and even those who did—was Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 1984. An ambitious and vibrantly colored celebration of heroism in all its forms, including those that don’t end in fistfights, it’s a superhero movie that’s won as many fans as detractors. But while basking in the new spectacle is well and good, it’s also worth considering how it came to be. For even in this HBO Max tentpole, one can still see how the feminist movement of the early 20th century is grafted into the very DNA of the Wonder Woman character, her origin, and even her most contentious iconography… something that rarely gets acknowledged in the broader comic fan community.

It’s widely acknowledged that between DC and Marvel, DC has the best villains. From the volatile anarchy of the Joker to the delicious anti-heroine of Catwoman, some have even become worthy of their own spin-off movies. So it was a fascinating decision by co-writer and director Patty Jenkins to take a different route with the baddies for Wonder Woman 1984. Namely, that neither are truly villainous.
Max Lord
Ok, Pedro Pascal’s Max Lord is a selfish, greedy con man who doesn’t care about what he does to society in the pursuit of money and power. He’s not evil per se, isn’t out for revenge, doesn’t actively wish death upon anyone; he just doesn’t care about the consequences of his actions. He is the embodiment of corrupt ‘80s capitalism and the pursuit of more,...

There’s a lot going on throughout Wonder Woman 1984‘s (very long) runtime. At one point in the film we learn the origin of Diana’s Golden Eagle armor, and that it once belonged to a legendary Amazon warrior named Asteria, who stayed behind to fight the armies of men so that her sisters could escape to Themyscira. Diana mentions that she has tried to find Asteria since she arrived in “our” world, but so far hasn’t had any luck. It’s presumed that Asteria is lost to history.
Until that mid-credits scene, of course, when we see a mysterious robed figure avert disaster in a crowded marketplace. When she turns to the camera, we learn it’s not just Asteria, but a beloved figure in DC and pop culture history, and one who could have...

When director Patty Jenkins and star Gal Gadot first introduced William Moulton Marston’s Amazon princess to the DC extended universe (Dceu) and stoked the stagnant franchise with the wildly entertaining Wonder Woman (2017), it led many to believe that perhaps the beloved properties of DC Comics would soon offer their Marvel rivals some worthy theatrical competition. But, alas, Justice League (2017) returned to the dark, dreary doldrums of earlier Dceu films and even lighthearted offerings like Aquaman (2018) and Shazam! (2019) couldn’t shake that stigma or reignite the enthusiasm that Wonder Woman had garnered. Then came Birds of Prey (2020), which continued with the dark Dceu yet managed to breathe a little life into the film series with some well-written humor and fine performances, despite its overall lukewarm reception. Now, comes Wonder Woman 1984. While not a step back, as its still infinitely better than most of the offerings that have been made by the Dceu,...

Wonder Woman
Whether you met her first in DC Comics, played by Linda Carter in the 1970s, or played by Gal Gadot in Patty Jenkin’s 2017 hit film, if you know only one name on this list, chances are it’s this one. Created in 1941 by William Moulton Marston and H.G. Peter, Wonder Woman is the immortal, super-strong, magical genius daughter of Zeus and Hippolyta. After moving to the world of mortals as an emissary of the Amazons, she fights for justice and equality solo and as a founding member of the Justice League against a rogues list that includes literal gods and colorful criminals like Cheetah.

Wonder Woman 1984 will apparently still be hitting screens in October of this year and, when it does, the film will introduce fans to one of Princess Diana of Themyscira’s most famed rogues. The character of Cheetah was created—like Diana—by William Moulton Marston and H. G. Peter, but has appeared in the comics in multiple guises.
The version that we’re getting in the highly-anticipated sequel is based on the third incarnation of the character: George Pérez and Len Wein’s classic ’87 creation, Barbara Ann Minerva. In the comics, Barbara is an archaeologist from the British isles who, in an Indiana Jones-esque adventure, becomes imbued with the spirit of a powerful deity known as Urzkartaga. But, from the new trailer, it seems like that origin will be drastically changed, focusing on the movie version of Cheetah’s relationship with Maxwell Lord.

Fortunately, the creation of Wonder Woman is something that has been fascinating people for some time, meaning that much of the tale is well-understood. For starters, the main figure behind the creation of Wonder Woman was an American psychologist named William Moulton Marston, who managed to capture the interest of the comics publisher Max Gaines when Marston commented in public about

We caught the film when it played at the Toronto International Film Festival, and were pleasantly surprised to find that this wasn't just your average biopic. The film tells the story of the creator of Wonder Woman, and we'll bet you had no idea just how interesting his life was.

We're going to bet that you didn't know the creator of Wonder Woman, William Moulton Marston, was a psychologist. Or that he invented the lie detector test. Or that he was in a polyamorous relationship with two women.

Culver City, Calif. (Dec. 5, 2017) – Luke Evans (Beauty and the Beast, Fast & Furious 6), Rebecca Hall (Christine, Vicky Christina Barcelona), and Bella Heathcote (Fifty Shades Darker, Dark Shadows) star in the biographic drama Professor Marston And The Wonder Women, debuting on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital on January 30 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Professor Marston And The Wonder Women is based on the bold and illuminating true superhero origin story depicting the creation of the beloved comic book character ‘Wonder Woman’ in 1941 by Dr. William Moulton Marston (Luke Evans), the Harvard psychologist who helped invent the modern lie detector test. Marston’s polyamorous relationship with wife Elizabeth Holloway (Rebecca Hall) and their lover, Olive Byrne (Bella Heathcote) was key to the creation of Wonder Woman as their feminist ideals were ingrained in the character from her creation. Written and Directed by Angela Robinson (“True Blood”), Professor Marston And The Wonder Women...

Wherever you stand on the successes and failures of the DC Extended Universe to date, it cannot be denied that the franchise contains moments of sheer excellence. Some films contain more of these moments than others, of course, but they are scattered throughout the series, nonetheless. Within these moments, few can be more exhilarating then those which receive high praise from the creators of the comic book characters themselves – and that’s what we have regarding Justice League, from Deathstroke co-creator Marv Wolfman.
The thing about Justice League is that the majority of characters – Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and The Flash – have been with us for so long that their original creators have since passed away. We’ll never know what William Moulton Marston thinks about Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, or whether Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster would approve of Henry Cavill’s portrayal of their Man Of Steel.

This year has been a very important year for Wonder Woman, Patty Jenkins’ sensational and critically acclaimed Wonder Woman broke box office records for a female directed picture and has got the ball rolling for future comic book movies led by female characters. As well as this the Dceu’s other big release this year Justice League (in cinemas now) has also, according to some, been carried by the character’s appearance and many are in fact saying that Wonder Woman has become the saviour of the Dceu. However, outside of this page to screen world of franchise building, this thoroughly interesting Bio-Drama looks at the man and women behind the super heroine and gives us all a very different take on the material.

We should probably all embrace the fact that the Justice League will be dominating pop culture conversation for the foreseeable future, given that its first live-action, big screen foray is about to debut in theatres around the world. That being the case, and with superhero movie audiences being legendarily impatient, the cast is already being questioned as to what we might see in Justice League 2 – if and when the sequel is announced.
While being interviewed by the Toronto Sun about the villains they would like to see in the next outing, Ezra Miller opted for the almost predictable answer of the Injustice League. Gal Gadot, on the other hand, gave a more Wonder Woman-centric response, and reaffirmed her desire to fight the Amazon Warrior’s arch-nemesis, Cheetah (who has also featured in Injustice League), on the big screen.

Behind the wholesome saver of planets in the Marvel film, there was a man with some strange ideas on love and sex
Well, this is a bit unexpected. Fans who responded to the comparative innocence of the recent Wonder Woman movie, to the lack of a knowing smirk and an ironically raised eyebrow, might be surprised to learn that, in the 1940s, America’s favourite female superhero had some subversively niche tastes. The spine of this deliciously provocative film is an investigation into the original comic strip, by a buttoned-up, purse-lipped official from the Child Study Association of America. What she finds is an enthusiasm for spanking, bondage and S&M imagery that, she contests, is not suitably wholesome given the young, impressionable readership.

The story of Wonder Woman's creator comes to the screen. Here's our review of Professor Marston And The Wonder Women...
Hot on the heels on Patty Jenkins’ box office smashing Wonder Woman comes the biopic of Wonder Woman’s creator, William Moulton Marston and the two women who inspired him to create the comic book hero.
The central story follows Marston and his wife’s unconventional relationship with Olive Byrne. Byrne started as a teaching assistant for the Marstons and became the third person in their marriage. The film explores the themes that became key in the Wonder Woman comics - empowered women, truth and the trio’s penchant for a bit of bondage.
Rebecca Hall is incredibly watchable as Elizabeth Holloway Marston, Luke Evans (who was very generously cast, just wait for the pictures at the end) is a bit dull, Bella Heathcote looks distractingly like Heather Graham...

As we gear up for an awards season ripe with many quality queer films, it’s important to remember smaller successes who may get lost in the shuffle. Lgbt-themed film festivals Outfest and Frameline kicked off the summer, while New York’s own NewFest wrapped up last week. It’s always thrilling to see a gay film get awards attention, like the kind lavished on Luca Guadagnino’s “Call Me By Your Name” and foreign language contender “Bpm (Beats Per Minute).” But it’s been a banner year for nuanced queer films across the board, and especially ones from queer-identified filmmakers.
From up-and-comers making splashy debuts, to longtime favorites who have stepped up their game, the filmmakers on this list represent a varied swath of not only the Lgbt spectrum, but vastly different artistic styles. That means they have the potential to reach different audiences — and open up perspectives across demographics.

A clip from Professor Marston and the Wonder Women has arrived. It sees Dr William Moulton Marston (Luke Evans) pitching his idea for a female comic book hero to his wife Elizabeth (Rebecca Hall) and mutual lover Olive (Bella Heathcote). Needless to say, they don’t seem very impressed.
Professor Marston and the Wonder Women tells the incredible true story of what inspired Harvard psychologist and inventor Dr Marston to create the iconic superhero Wonder Woman. The self-empowered women in his life, wife Elizabeth and mutual lover Olive, who defied social conventions.

Professor Marston and the Wonder Women lands in theatres in perfect timing, just after Wonder Woman itself became the biggest phenomenon of the year.

It's been established that William had a relationship with both his wife Elizabeth and Olive Byrne, who lived with them. But the film depicts Elizabeth Marston and Byrne, who continued to live together after William Moulton Marston's death, as also having had a sexual relationship, something others have also said there is evidence for, but which the creator's granddaughter takes issue with.

'Professor Marston and the Wonder Women' Director on the Superhero's Kinky Origin Story (Exclusive)
If you saw Wonder Woman this summer -- and the record-setting $800 million worldwide box office indicates a lot of people saw Wonder Woman this summer -- then you know the story of how Diana, Princess of Themyscira, became the superhero Wonder Woman, protector of mankind. How Wonder Woman ended up on the pages of comic books in the first place is a story unto itself however, told in Professor Marston and the Wonder Women: In 1941, Dr. William Moulton Marston (played by Luke Evans), his wife, Elizabeth (Rebecca Hall), and their lover, Olive Byrne (Bella Heathcote), created the character to save the world...through psychology. Director Angela Robinson (D.E.B.S.) could never have predicted, though, that her Wonder Woman indie would arrive in theaters mere months after one of the biggest movies of the year.

Chicago – For a film that has free love, lie detection, bondage, the origin of a great comic superhero and 3-way carnality, “Professor Marston & the Wonder Women” still comes out rather flat… quite a achievement. Wonder Woman is the comic hero, and this is the rest of her story.
Rating: 3.0/5.0
The film is sincere in its effort to explain one of the more unusual creators of an enduring comic book character, one who applied his lifestyle to the characteristics of Wonder Woman. William Moulton Marston was a man who at his core wanted to create a hero of peace and love, with the additional traits of her built in as a result of his own careful research. The performances are good and worth noting, but the story – written and directed by Angela Robinson – gets stuck in the man-ahead-of-his-time rut, with the forces of censorship bringing the Wonder of the Woman down faster than any villain.

Sorry, all you dudes who may have been expecting something salacious and debauched from a movie about the guy who created Wonder Woman for DC Comics. Cuz you’ve heard that he was into bondage and somehow managed to convince his wife to bring another woman into their lives and their bed: woo-hoo, threesome! But Professor Marston & the Wonder Women isn’t perverted, and it’s not pornographic, not even of the softest-core type. And this ain’t Fifty Shades of Grey, either. Thank Aphrodite.

This weekend, Wonder Woman is back in the spotlight thanks to Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, a new film that traces the surprising origins of the beloved character.
The true-life tale behind the Amazon warrior’s controversial creator has remained shrouded in mystery for decades.
William Moulton Marston, who published his first Wonder Woman strip in 1941, led a double life not unlike the superheroes he wrote about. Working to uncover his secret identity like a real-life Lois Lane, New Yorker writer Jill Lepore pieced together the complicated life of the scholar, writer and inventor in 2014 with her book, The Secret History of Wonder Woman.

“Wonder Woman” might be the year’s most outwardly feminist blockbuster, but another of this year’s most outwardly feminist biopic chronicles her creation. Kinky and conventional in equal measure, “Professor Marston and the Wonder Women” follows the unlikely (and mostly true) creation of Wonder Woman, born out of both forward-thinking theory and a polyamorous relationship that endured for decades. Robinson’s film follows Professor William Moulton Marston (Luke Evans), his wife Elizabeth (Rebecca Hall), and their one-time student and eventual lover Olive Byrne (Bella Heathcote) as they try to navigate a complex three-way relationship while also dealing with intense public scrutiny.
Cleverly packaged as a straightforward drama about personal desires and professional accomplishments, “Professor Marston and the Wonder Women” is a hugely satisfying alternative to often cheap excuses for feminist movies in Hollywood.

Wonder Woman, it seems, has always been a symbol of progress. She was created by William Moulton Marston, a forward-thinking psychology professor, to help usher in a new era of female empowerment. Seventy-five years later, moviegoers cheered and wept this summer while watching Gal Gadot’s Diana of Themyscira in a superheroine movie that felt long overdue. But Wonder Woman’s modernity has nothing on her creators': a trio of romantic and sexual rebels who embraced queerness, kink, and polyamory decades before even San Francisco did. “Professor Marston and the Wonder Women” celebrates the bravery and creativity of Diana Prince’s mastermind.
