Umbrella Academy is one of the most creative and non-cliche superhero stuff out there. While Season 1 was great in its own way, Umbrella Academy Season 2 was exceptional with only a few minor flaws here and there. It showcased the world that a non Marvel/DC superhero story can be all you want to see and more. It has the potential to go toe to toe against the heavy hitters in the industry and that is why it has so many loyal fans. Just now Umbrella Academy has debuted its first trailer for season 3, barely a month before its release. So, first of all check out the trailer below.
Umbrella Academy Season 3’s Sparrow Academy Explained
The trailer is high on crazy and action, just like what we expected. It heavily features the Sparrow Academy which was teased at the end of Season 2. As you may know, Umbrella Academy follows a group of 7 heroes who are followed by doomsday everywhere they go. After settling two world ending events, when they finally returned to their timeline at the end of Season 2, a shocker awaited them. They saw that they have been replaced in the timeline by a set of heroes called Sparrow Academy with Ben as their leader.
From what we understand from the trailer, this is owing to the mysterious Kugelblitz effect. As you may remember, they contacted their father Reginald Hargreeves. Apparently, they shouldn’t have done that because that affected his choices in selecting the children for his academy which has again cause discrepancies in the timeline. Owing to this, another apocalyptic event is going to occur and once again, our heroes are on a timer.
Elliot Page’s Vanya Hargreeves is Now Viktor Hargreeves
Umbrella Academy’s lead star Elliot Page came out as trans two years ago. The Inception and X-Men famed actor played the role of Vanya Hargreeves on The Umbrella Academy in the first two seasons. But now the character will also come out as trans on the show in Season 3 and will be called Viktor Hargreeves from now on. Netflix confirmed the introduction of Viktor by stating, “Welcome to the family, Viktor — we’re so happy you’re here.”
Elliot Page’s characters transformation was heavily featured in the trailer and he is all set to take this character to a new level. We can Viktor challenging one of the members of The Sparrow Academy by stating how he has ended the world twice. Towards the end of the trailer we see him along with Ritu Arya’s Lila Pitts charging up on their enemies together. Lila and Viktor are two of the heaviest hitters among the group and their team up would be a sight to behold!
The Umbrella Academy Season 3 is all set to debut on 22nd June 2022.
