Why Vanya Is In The Umbrella Academy Season 3 Trailer
Elliot Page is confirmed to be playing Viktor Hargreeves in The Umbrella Academy season 3, so why does Vanya Hargreeves seem to appear in the trailer? The Umbrella Academy season 2 concluded in 2020 with the team finding themselves in a parallel timeline and facing The Sparrow Academy. It’s been a long wait since then, but The Umbrella Academy season 3 trailer gave the first full look at the future of the show and Elliot Page as Viktor Hargreeves.
Elliot Page’s character was known as Vanya Hargreeves (AKA Number Seven) in The Umbrella Academy seasons 1 and 2. However, Elliot Page publicly came out as non-binary in December 2020 and updated their pronouns to he/they. Page’s character was then revealed in 2022 to be going by Viktor Hargreeves after an image of Viktor sitting next to Allison Hargreeves (Emmy Raver-Lampman) was posted on social media.

After the image release of Viktor Hargreeves, it seemed possible that The Umbrella Academy would only portray the character of Number Seven as Viktor in part to avoid any discomfort for Elliot Page in how his character is viewed. However, as Number Seven appears in The Umbrella Academy season 3 trailer several times in a pretransition state outside of the scene set at the end of The Umbrella Academy season 2, it can be assumed that Viktor’s season 3 arc will fully explore their transition in a way that many shows shy away from.
