With the production of Joker: Folie à Deux picking up pace, it seems that the upcoming movie will reportedly emphasize on Harley Quinn’s sexuality. According to reports, Lady Gaga will be the first actress to portray a bisexual Harley Quinn in the medium of live-action. This report comes after Gaga’s character was spotted kissing an older woman on the sets of the Joker sequel.

However, it seems that there aren’t any such qualms in the case of Lady Gaga’s interpretation of the character, especially following her kiss with an extra on the sets of the sequel.
