　　As of this writing, no official statement had yet been issued.

　　Ulliel recently finished filming Moon Knight, the upcoming Disney+ series set to premiere on March 30. He joined the cast in July 2021 as Anton Mogart/Midnight Man, and will appear in the anticipated series alongside Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke.

　　Ulliel is perhaps best known for portraying the young Hannibal Lecter in Hannibal Rising, fashion mogul Yves Saint Laurent in the biopic Saint Laurent, and as the face of the Chanel fragrance Bleu de Chanel. One of France's best known actors who also worked abroad, the man behind the roles was, per Variety, "known to be elegant and discreet yet friendly."
