With the holiday season winding down, school will be back in session very half of 3/4. Even Netflix’s own esteemed academy, from the minds of comic book creators Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, is gearing up for a return, with “The Umbrella Academy” season 3 scheduled to begin filming next month.
Ahead of the highly anticipated next chapter of the Hargreeves family, the streamer has unveiled brand new character posters featuring the incoming students. Following some insane time traveling shenanigans in 1960s Dallas, “The Umbrella Academy” season 2 ended with the team returning to their present. However, upon arrival they find that the timeline has been altered. Instead of walking into their childhood home, Vanya, Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, and Five discover that Reginald Hargreeves is still alive and has chosen another crop of children to be his superhero team instead of them. Before we get to know them later this year, Netflix has released a set of posters via Twitter to show off the new team.
One face may be familiar, since Justin H. In this new reality, Ben is very much alive and slightly different than we’ve come to know him. You can check out all the new posters right here, along with the previously released character descriptions for the latest additions to the cast. Honest, virtuous, and demanding, Marcus keeps the family together. Graceful but lethal, calculated but compassionate, he is as smart as he is strong. Marcus is disciplined, rational and in control.
He oozes confidence and leadership without ever having to raise his voice. This is not the sweet Ben we know and love. This Ben is a Machiavellian tactician, wrapped up in a pretty boy body with a rumbling inner-squid. Vicious, pragmatic, and hyper-vigilant— Ben is determined to gain his status as the leader at all costs. Fei sees the world in a special way. She comes across as a misanthrope who would rather be alone than spend even a second with you.
