Behind-the-scenes footage from 'Suicide Squad' teases an iconic Harley Quinn costume

When the first teasers for "Suicide Squad" came out, a big question on many minds was whether we would see Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) in her iconic jester suit.

Upon her debut in the '90s animated cartoon, "Batman: The Animated Series," Quinn's main outfit consisted of a black and red one-piece jester costume complete with a headpiece.

Though Quinn's look has evolved over the years since then to include sexier two-piece outfits in video games, the colors have traditionally been black and red.

When Quinn's look was revealed for "Suicide Squad," it was much different from what fans remembered. It didn't look like we were going to be seeing Quinn's iconic look in the new film.

However, it looks like we may get to see that jester suit after all in "Suicide Squad." Warner Bros. has released over nine minutes of behind-the-scenes footage and B-roll showing the cast in action on set of the new DC Comics movie. 

Among the footage is two brief clips in which Harley's jester suit can clearly be seen. 

The first time we see the suit is around the 3:30 mark. The Joker is sitting around a collection of roses, guns, alcohol, knives, and more. While Jared Leto is talking with director David Ayer off to the side is a mannequin with blonde hair and pigtails adorned with a familiar black and red one-piece.

It sure looks like Harley's jester suit.

We get confirmation that is indeed Harley's suit later in the footage when we see Quinn pull the same outfit out of a trunk and briefly embrace it before discarding it.

Could we be seeing Harley getting a few outfit changes in the new film?

It sure seems likely. Perhaps this is the outfit Quinn wore when she was thrown into the Belle Reve prison. Or perhaps it's just a nice Easter egg nod for fans of the character.

"Suicide Squad" is in theaters August 5.
