Hurt was known well for his Academy Award-winning performance in Kiss of the Spider Woman.

He has also appeared in numerous Marvel Cinematic Universe films, such as The Incredible Hulk and Captain America: Civil War.

The late actor revealed back in 2018 that doctors had diagnosed him with with terminal prostate cancer, according to the ABC.
