Marvel Pays Tribute to Late Moon Knight Actor Gaspard Ulliel in New Episode
Fans have now gotten to experience the third installment of Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight, and it was a doozy. This time around, the focus on was more squarely on Marc Spector as he and Layla went to get information from a shady source. Of course, everything eventually devolved into a big brawl with Moon Knight obliterating the competition.
On their trip, they came across a rich antique collector named Anton, who happened to hold the clue to solving the Ammit problem. Played by Gaspard Ulliel, the character had an immediate screen presence the moment he came on screen.

Sadly, Ulliel passed away earlier this year in a tragic skiing accident, which came a few weeks before his debut within the MCU. In remembrance of the late actor, Marvel Studios included a small tribute to him at the end of the Moon Knight's third episode.

Ulliel's Mark on the World
Gaspard Ulliel is known by many in the United States for his role as the titular character in 2007's Hannibal Rising. That's far from his only credit in the film world, as the actor had worked on countless French films and shorts, including To the Ends of the World, A Greek Type of Problem, and A Heavenly Vintage.
Ulliel seemingly has at least one more posthumous project set to release with Emily Atef's Plus que Jamais, a French film currently in post-production. The film follows Ulliel's Matthieu and Vicky Krieps's Hélène as the couple faces an existential crisis, and go on a journey to re-discover the depth of their love.
Audiences around the world have enjoyed his work for quite some time, and hopefully, his appearance in Moon Knight as Anton will be added to that list for those watching.
