Elliot Page is set to reprise the role of the mega-powerful White Violin for the upcoming third season of Netflix's The Umbrella Academy, and it looks like the character will have undergone a few changes when we rejoin the world's most dysfunctional superhero family this June.
Page took to Twitter to introduce Viktor Hargreeves, giving is a first look at his character sitting in a diner.
It's assumed that Vanya will be transitioning, although Page has previously stated that "No. 7" would continue to be depicted as female despite the X-Men: Days of Future Past star coming out as a trans man back in 2020, so there's a chance this is simply an alternate timeline version (or Variant, if you like) of the youngest Hargreeves sibling.
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?
