Peacemaker -

John Cena's Peacemaker, of the hit HBO series from the DC Universe, was confirmed to be bisexual. Fans suspected as much due to hints in earlier episodes, but the third episode left no room for ambiguity! According to the show's creator James Gunn, this element of the character was all down to John Cena. Gunn had originally intended for Peacemaker to be a typical straight guy, but Cena managed to transform the role. “John does improv all the time, and he just turned Christopher Smith (Peacemaker) into this hyper-sexualized dude that is open to anything sexually,” explained Gunn. Go John!

Loki -

The third episode of the Marvel series 'Loki' on Disney+ has brought yet another exciting confirmation regarding the god of mischief's sexual orientation. As Loki (played by Tom Hiddleston) runs from the Time Variance Authority's Minutemen with the variant Lady Loki (Sophie Di Martino), who prefers to be called Sylvie, they have a moment away from fighting to get to know each other on a train to the ark. Loki asks Sylvie whether she has a "beau" waiting for her, and she tells him she's in a "long-distance relationship with a postman." Then—in the moment everyone is waiting for—she asks whether there are any "would-be-princesses, or perhaps, another prince" on the horizon for Loki. "A bit of both," he replies. "I suspect the same as you." This moment, however small, marks the first time the MCU has referenced Loki’s sexual orientation, who in Norse mythology is originally described as bisexual and gender-fluid, Metro reports.

Loki -

At the end of a teaser clip for 'Loki,' the camera briefly rests on the supervillain’s Time Variance Authority file, which lists Loki's sex as “fluid.” Of course, the Asgardian’s non-binary identity was confirmed in the 2014 comic book 'Thor and Loki: The Tenth Realm' when their father Odin referred to Loki as both his “son” and “daughter," but now it's officially on-screen.
