Euphoria star, Javon Walton, is opening up about his mystery role in The Umbrella Academy season 3 and teases that his role is too random to be leaked. The Umbrella Academy is a Netflix original series based on the comic books of the same name by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá. The series has boasted two seasons so far, with season 3 set to premiere sometime this year. Anticipation is high for the third season of Umbrella Academy as it will feature The Sparrow Academy and Hotel Oblivion.

While Netflix confirmed Umbrella Academy season 3's release date for 2022, few updates have been given on when exactly to expect it. An official trailer has also not been released for season 3. Instead, the latest update on the series was about a new surprise cast member. Netflix confirmed on March 1, 2022 that Walton had been cast in The Umbrella Academy season 3. Walton is an American actor and boxer, best known for portraying Ashtray on HBO's Euphoria. Now that it has been officially confirmed, Walton is dropping a few more details about his role.

In an interview with EW, Walton opened up about his mystery Umbrella Academy role. Walton reiterated that things are still very private right now, but he could confirm that he is not part of the Sparrow Academy. He also revealed that everyone thinks his character is "crazy" and it is so random that it won't be able to be leaked. Check out his statement below:

So, it's all pretty private right now, including my character, but Steve Blackman and Jeff King did an amazing job developing my character. And it's not part of the Sparrow Academy. Everybody thinks it's pretty crazy, what my character is. For sure people aren't going to be able to leak this one. It is too random for people to be able to leak it, but it's a really lovable character and I can't wait for you all to see.

Walton's statement definitely broadens the mystery surrounding his surprise role in The Umbrella Academy. Season 2 ended with a change in the timeline, causing Sir Reginald Hargreeves to form the Sparrow Academy instead of the Umbrella Academy. While Javon wasn't announced as one of the seven Sparrow Academy members, there was the possibility of him being a secret member or related in some way. Now that Javon has confirmed he is not one of the Sparrows, it is difficult to guess who else he may be. The fact that he said it could not be leaked could mean that he does not have a comic book counterpart and is a wholly new character. Walton being only 15-years of age also adds to the mystery, as there are few children in the Umbrella Academy aside from Five (Aidan Gallagher) and Harlan (Justin Paul Kelly). His youthfulness makes it unlikely he is one of the 43 superpowered individuals, as they are all grown up now, unless he is another case of miscalculated time travel.

Walton's mystery role in The Umbrella Academy further raises anticipation for the series. While he isn't a Sparrow, the series is full of superpowered beings, time travel, and extraterrestrial creatures. There is really no limit to whom he could be in the series and according to Walton, the character is too random to be able to guess. However, his youthfulness and the time-bending nature of the Umbrella Academy could mean he is someone from the past or future of the Hargreeves. Walton has boasted a strong performance in Euphoria, and he is likely to continue to impress in The Umbrella Academy, regardless of what his mystery role might be.
