THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY Posters Spotlight Viktor Hargreeves & His Sparrow Academy Counterpart, Christopher

The Umbrella Academy star Elliot Page recently introduced us to Vanya Viktor Hargreeves, and we now have a character poster for the transitioned White Violin alongside his Sparrow Academy counterpart.

The third season of The Umbrella Academy is set to premiere on June 22, and Netflix has now debuted a pair of character posters featuring the "No. 7s" of the show's feuding factions.

We recently learned that Elliot Page will now play Viktor Hargreeves, presumably after Vanya transitions (though there's a chance this is simply an alternate timeline version of the character), and the youngest Hargreeves sibling is spotlighted here alongside his Sparrow Academy counterpart.

Yes, Christopher is a... cube! An Existential Dread Inducing Psykronium Cube, to be precise.

A recent character breakdown described him as "a telekinetic cube of unknown origin. He can turn the room freezing cold and induce paralyzing fear. He acts as the Sparrows’ consulted oracle who hands out incredible advice and serves as the family mediator. Trustworthy, loyal, and is treated by the Sparrows like any other sibling, Christopher is a force to be reckoned with."

The season 2 finale of The Umbrella Academy (you can check out our review here) saw the gang successfully save the world (again) from Armageddon, but when they returned to their own timeline, they found themselves in an alternate reality with the Sparrows seemingly led by the now very much alive Ben Hargreeves.

The Umbrella Academy season 3 will consist of 10 episodes, with main cast members Elliot Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, Ritu Arya and Colm Feore all confirmed to return. Steve Blackman is also back on board as showrunner.

Check out the updated synopsis below.

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. 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?

I’m interested to see if they address it at all in universe or if they just move forward. It was starting to be really clear he was transitioning in Season 2 so it wouldn’t really be a stretch to have a conversation about it even if it was a brief one

I'm curious how fans of the comics feel about this. These aren't characters I know, so I can't comment. Good for them for getting to keep the role though. Just replacing them would have been a mistake

@TheSuperMex - What's dumb is everyone referring to a biological woman as him. Should've of just recasted her. She's so annnoying anyway.

I hope they don't address at all. Like straight up act like he was always like this. Better yet, include flash backs of scenes we have seen before where the only thing different is him. Would be gold.

Appreciate and be gratefully accept the gifts that nature has given you, and don't destroy it, understand that others have been given much worse/harsher cards than you, with things that are not present or do not function. Learn the lesson with the cards you were dealt with because it IS all a game but you will repeat that level if you don't learn.

We all must pay for the choices we make through karma, lest we be born again in the earth realm and repeat it until we learn that lesson.

Karma is the ONLY currency/gauge that you can carry with you from one lifetime to the next. Negative karma or positive karma is your spiritual bank account.
