Moon Knight Star Reflects On Working With Late Gaspard Ulliel (Screen Rant)

Moon Knight star May Calamawy, who plays Marc Spector's wife Layla, shares her memories of working with the late Gaspard Ulliel on the MCU series.

The complete arc of Anton Mogart's character on Moon Knight is still unknown and will remain so until the series finale on May 4, 2022, although Calamawy's quote does lend credence to the theory that he won't be interacting with Layla very often after this episode. This kind of incident is never how anyone wants a strong working relationship to end, and it's remarkable how well they've been able to weather such an unexpected challenge. But when you'd talk to him, he was really funny, and he was really committed to every moment that he was in. She remembers him fondly, saying that even though he was quiet, he was " really funny," and "really committed to every moment that he was in." Unfortunately, in January 2022, the actor tragically passed away in a skiing accident at age 37 during a break while shooting the miniseries Tikkoun. Being the first episode where he appears, Moon Knight episode 3 is dedicated to Ulliel. He must face off against the villainous cult leader Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke), who worships the goddess Ammit. May Calamawy also stars alongside Isaac as Spector's wife Layla, and episode 3 introduced Gaspard Ulliel as Anton Mogart, also known as Midnight Man.

Anton Mogart, AKA The Midnight Man, first appeared in Moon Knight #3, all the way back in January 1981. But Moon Knight steps in to save her and throws one of his moonerang's back at Anton.

But in case it's not, Anton's comic book origins could hint at what's next for him in the second half of season one. As a young playwright who reunites with his family after a long absence, Gaspard gives an intelligent, magnetic performance which has become even more moving now in the wake of his death.

Moon Knight Explained: Who Is Anton Mogart, Gaspard Ulliel's ... (ComingSoon.net)

In Episode 3, Moon Knight's adventures moved to Egypt, where he clashed with Anton Mogart, the villainous character portrayed by the late Gaspard Ulliel.

During his journey in Egypt, Spector lost control over his mind and body for a few moments while dealing with some criminals in Cairo. Initially, Spector thought it was Grant’s fault, but the British persona denied any involvement. As seen in the latest episodes, the second persona of Spector prefers using words to calm the situation down. Wrapped in his crescent moon-shaped cape, Spector escaped the gunfire by Mogart’s henchmen and retaliated with some crescent darts. Let us know in the comments. After the talks between Spector and Mogart turned bad, Khonshu suggested to Spector to summon the suit. Perhaps, Marvel Studios might opt to recast the character, but there is no official news yet.
