'The Umbrella Academy': the director changed the script of the series due to the transition of Elliot Page

 Steve Blackman, director of  'The Umbrella Academy' , spoke with actor  Elliot Page  to write the script for the transition from Vanya to Viktor Hargreeves .





The transition from Ellen to Elliot Page was also reflected in 'The Umbrella Academy' , so she went from Vanya to Viktor Hargreeves . However, this is no coincidence, since the actor worked hand in hand with the director, after the artist revealed that he was transgender, a fact that led to the writing of a new script .


"Elliot had called me after the scripts were done and told me he was transitioning and obviously I wanted to be very supportive. Nobody (...) forced me to write it like that in the story, but I thought it was the right thing to do" Steve Blackman said.“I got in touch with (LGBTQ media advocacy group) GLAAD, got in touch with a trans writer who wanted me to be my consultant, and together with Elliot, we talked about how we were going to do the story. We didn't want it to become the story of the show, so we had to find a balance between making that transition and at the same time doing it in a way that felt authentic, sensitive , real."

Hargreeves gives the children numbers instead of names, but they are eventually named by their robot mother, Grace, as Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Ben , Viktor  , and Five . As he puts six of his children to fight crime, Reginald keeps Vanya out of his siblings' activities, as she supposedly has no powers of her own.


The news comes two months after the premiere of the third season, which was among the top 10 of the streaming service. "Family reunion, Brellies: We embark on a fourth and final adventure", can be read in the official account of 'The Umbrella Academy' in reference to the announcement of the renewal, which is believed to arrive by the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024 .
