In the DC comics world, Harley Quinn is known to be the Joker’s love interest. However, there will be a twist to her love story in the movie adaptation of “Suicide Squad.” Deadshot (Will Smith), the Joker (Jared Leto) and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) will be involved in a love triangle.

Smith, who plays Deadshot in “Suicide Squad,” recently talked about his character’s involvement with Harley Quinn. Heroic Hollywood reports that the actor teased during an interview that Deadshot and Harley Quinn, played by Robbie, will somehow be hooking up.

"Harley is the biggest troublemaker, but Deadshot's actually eyeballing her a little bit. There's a pretty ragged romantic triangle there,” Smith said.

The actor’s statements somehow explain the “Suicide Squad” set photos leaked back in May. While filming continued in Toronto, Canada, Robbie’s Harley Quinn and Smith’s Deadshot were photographed with one another.

One photo showed Smith in his Deadshot costume carrying Robbie, dressed as Harley Quinn, in his arms. It’s believed Harley will be injured at some point in the film and Deadshot will play her knight in shining armour. Another picture showed Deadshot gently putting the injured Harley Quinn on the hood of a car.

Harley Quinn and Deadshot entangled in a possible romantic relationship in “Suicide Squad” behind the Joker’s back is nothing new. Their chemistry has reportedly already been explored in “The New 52” comic book universe, according to Comic Book Movie.

In the same interview, Smith also talked about what condition Deadshot will be in at the start of the film. Fans will reportedly see that Deadshot is trying to be a good person for his daughter, that “he’s looking to turn a new leaf with his daughter.” However, something goes terribly wrong and he ends up in Belle Reve prison where he eventually meets Harley.

Heroic Hollywood added that during the same interview with Smith, movie director David Ayer also shed some light on Harley Quinn’s identity in “Suicide Squad.” He said Harley is trying to change her bad image starting off with letting go of the Joker’s bad influence on her.

“It’s about her breaking free of the Joker and becoming this fully actualised, independent person. That really is a metaphor for everyone’s journey here,” Ayer said in the same Heroic Hollywood report.
