After Elliot Page's transition, 'The Umbrella Academy' fans ask what happens to Vanya? Here's what Netflix said
Elliot Page, on Tuesday, December 1, came out as a trans person. They wrote on Twitter, "Hi friends, I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot." 'The Umbrella Academy' actor further said, "I feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life," adding, “I feel overwhelming gratitude for the incredible people who have supported me along this journey."
In the aftermath of this announcement, many fans of the Netflix superhero show had questions about Page’s character Vanya, who has so far been portrayed as a cis-gendered queer woman. “I wonder what this means for Their umbrella academy character next season. Will art imitate life? I hope so. Love to you Elliot,” wrote a fan on Twitter. Another fan said, “Happy for him but what exactly does this mean for Vanya? I hope it doesn’t mess things up for him.”
