The third season of The Umbrella Academy will be quite different for one character. Following actor Elliot Page coming out as transgender in 2020, his character Vanya Hargreeves will also undergo transition. Come season three, Vanya will henceforth become Viktor Hargreeves.
The Juno star announced the change in social media by posting a first look of Viktor in the upcoming season of the Netflix hit superhero series. The news was immediately retweeted appreciatively by Netflix’s social accounts.
The Umbrella Academy chronicles the lives of the Hargreeves siblings, a group of super powered individuals who literally battle time to stop apocalypses across different eras. The story is based off of a Dark Horse comic created by My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way.
