Warning: SPOILERS for Moon Knight episode 3

Marvel dedicated Moon Knight episode 3 to Gaspard Ulliel, the talented actor who played Anton Mogart in the episode. The third episode of the Marvel Cinematic Universe series moves Marc Spector's adventures to Egypt, where Oscar Isaac's hero and Layla (May Calamawy) attempt to learn the location of Ammit's tomb. It is through this story that Moon Knight episode 3 features the debut of Gaspard Ulliel as Anton Mogart, a character from the comics also known as Midnight Man.

Gaspard Ulliel's Anton Mogart doesn't appear until midway through the episode, as he is an old contact of Layla's from their prior adventure in Madripoor. The mention of the fictional island of Madripoor is one of the only MCU references that Moon Knight has included to this point, as the Marvel Studios production has also opted to not include any post-credits scenes in the first half of the season. However, Moon Knight episode 3 does include something in its credits. A title card appears that says this episode was dedicated to Gaspard Ulliel following his MCU debut.

The reason that Moon Knight episode 3 is dedicated to Gaspard Ulliel is that the actor died after filming his role as Anton Mogart. The French actor passed away on January 19, 2022. He was 37 years old. Gaspard Ulliel died following a ski accident in the French Alps that occurred the day before. Ulliel crashed into a fellow skier and suffered serious brain trauma from the collision. Since Moon Knight episode 3 is his first MCU appearance and one of his final on-screen appearances, Marvel Studios dedicated the episode to the talented and award-winning actor.

This is not the first time Marvel Studios has dedicated a project or episode to a specific individual. Marvel's What If...? episode 2's credits included a dedication to Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman following his tragic passing in 2020. Marvel also changed the Marvel Studios opening fanfare for Captain Marvel as a dedication to Stan Lee after the legendary comics creator passed away. Moon Knight episode 3's Gaspard Ulliel dedication recognizes his talent and prominent role in one of his final on-screen appearances.

It is not confirmed if Moon Knight episode 3 is the only episode that Gaspard Ulliel's Anton Mogart is in. The character appears to die during the events that unfold, but there's always a chance he returns in the final three episodes. As for what else Gaspard Ulliel will appear in moving forward, he's slated to appear in Emily Atef's 2022 movie Plus que jamais, which is his last confirmed acting credit.
