Elliot Page’s Vanya Hargreeves Will Transition To Viktor In Upcoming ‘The Umbrella Academy’ S3

Let’s be fair, a lot of movies and shoes get a lot of flack for the lack of LGBTQ+ representation in mainstream media. Moreover, a lot of them have also faced backlash thanks to the fact that cis-het people end up playing LGBTQ+ characters and taking opportunities from people in the community. Hence, when Elliot Page transitioned from female to male, there was a lot of discourse around whether he will be continuing playing Vanya Hargreeves on The Umbrella Academy. However, all our questions have been answered as we just found out that the show is going to re-introduce Vanya as Viktor Hargreeves, a trans male character which Elliot will continue playing.
