Le personnage d'Elliot Page dans The Umbrella Academy fera son coming out en tant que personne transgenre lors de la troisième saison à venir.

Cependant, l'acteur a révélé mardi une première image de Viktor sur les réseaux sociaux et a simplement écrit : « Je vous présente Viktor Hargreeves ». Viktor Hargreeves, qui fait partie d'une famille adoptive de super-héros, déchaîne sa force grâce à l'utilisation du son. Elliot Page s'est publiquement déclaré comme transgenre en décembre 2020.

Besides the fact that this might be a historic rewriting—it’s hard to recall a character has ever changed gender because the actor playing them has transitioned—just the fact that there’s enough respect between Page and the show to adjust the character to suit his new gender is incredibly heartening. The embrace of Page’s identity will make it easier for Page to land new roles in the future and will help bring more trans people into Hollywood as actors first and trans people second.

Netflix retweeted Page’s post, adding, “Welcome to the family, Viktor—we’re so happy you’re here.”
