The Umbrella Academy Season 3 Photo Unveils Elliot Page’s Viktor Hargreeves

Ahead of its long-awaited return this June, Netflix has confirmed that Elliot Page, who portrayed the role of Vanya Hargreeves in the first two seasons, will now be introduced as Viktor Hargreeves in the upcoming third season of The Umbrella Academy. This character development comes after more than a year since Page officially came out as transgender.

Page took to Twitter to share a new Umbrella Academy Season 3 photo, providing us with our first look at his new character Viktor, who is seen sporting a similar style to Justin H. Min’s former character Ben Hargreeves. He can also be seen together with Emmy Raver-Lampman’s Allison in a diner.

Based on the popular, Eisner award-winning comics and graphic novels created and written by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, The Umbrella Academy stars Elliot Page as Viktor/Number Seven, Tom Hopper as Luther/Number One, Emmy Raver-Lampman as Allison/Number Three, Robert Sheehan as Klaus/Number Four, David Castañeda as Diego/Number Two, Aidan Gallagher as Number Five, and Justine H. Min as Ben/Number Six. 

“In Season 3, after putting a stop to 1963’s doomsday, the Umbrella Academy return home to the present, convinced they prevented the initial apocalypse and fixed this godforsaken timeline once and for all. But after a brief moment of celebration, they realize things aren’t exactly (okay, not at all) how they left them,” says the synopsis.

“Enter the Sparrow Academy. Smart, stylish, and about as warm as a sea of icebergs, the Sparrows immediately clash with the Umbrellas in a violent face-off that turns out to be the least of everyone’s concerns. Navigating challenges, losses, and surprises of their own – and dealing with an unidentified destructive entity wreaking havoc in the Universe (something they may have caused) — now all they need to do is convince Dad’s new and possibly better family to help them put right what their arrival made wrong. Will they find a way back to their pre-apocalyptic lives? Or is this new world about to reveal more than just a hiccup in the timeline?”
