Is Elliott Page Playing Vanya In The Umbrella Academy Season 3?
Elliot Page will be returning for The Umbrella Academy season 3, but to what extent will they portray Vanya Hargreeves? The Umbrella Academy season 3 will pick up right where season 2 left off with a massive cliffhanger. After failing to save the world in the season 1 finale, the Hargreeves siblings found themselves stranded in 1960s Dallas for the duration of The Umbrella Academy season 2. There, as they attempted to prevent another apocalypse, they asked their father's younger self for help only to be turned away. Unfortunately, by telling Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore) his future, the Hargeeves siblings seemingly changed their fates. When they finally managed to return to 2019, they found they had been replaced in the timeline by The Sparrow Academy and were equally shocked to find their sibling Ben (Justin H. Min), who had died when they were all teenagers, alive and well.
In December 2020, in an emotional social media post (via Instagram), Elliot Page announced that they were transgender and updated their pronouns to he/they. Much later, in a separate Twitter post, Page uploaded a picture of Number 7 sitting next to his sister Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman) in a diner, captioned "Meet Viktor Hargreeves." While speculation had been rampant about how Elliot's announcement would affect the show's storyline, the portrayal and naming of Viktor presents the series with exciting and impactful possibilities for Viktor's character arc.
