In an instance of art imitating life, Elliot Page’s “Umbrella Academy” character will come out as transgender in the third season of the Netflix series, the Los Angeles Times has confirmed.

On Tuesday, Page shared a Season 3 still of Viktor Hargreeves — the sonically gifted superhero he plays on the show — sitting in a diner. Viktor’s pronouns are he/him/his.

“Meet Viktor Hargreeves,” Page tweeted along with an umbrella emoji. The image was also posted to Instagram.

“Welcome to the family, Viktor — we’re so happy you’re here,” Netflix replied with a heart emoji.

Page’s latest tweet comes more than a year after the Oscar-nominated performer came forward as transgender in real life and announced, in a powerful statement, that his pronouns are he/they.

“I can’t begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self,” Page said in December 2020.

Since then, Page has used their platform to raise awareness about issues facing the trans community and disseminate resources to help trans youth. The “Inception” star has also been vocal about his personal journey with gender identity in high-profile interviews.
