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." Academy' .
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 .
