Hercule Poirot is back.
And he’s getting a little help from Wonder Woman.
The famous Belgian detective made his 21st-century debut last year in the 2017 adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express.
The film was directed by Kenneth Branagh who also starred as the investigator.
The success of the picture — which also included Penélope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench, Johnny Depp, Josh Gad, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Daisy Ridley — has resulted in the scheduled adaptation of another of Agatha Christie’s classics, Death on the Nile.
Poirot once again finds himself having to solve a murder mystery on moving transport (this time a ship) when one of the passengers ends up dead.
The latest star to sign on to the cast is Wonder Woman actress, Gal Gadot, who will portray the part of Linnet Ridgeway Doyle, a rich heiress who in the book is married to Simon Doyle.
Death on the Nile, which will once again be directed by Branagh, hits theatres on December 20th, 2019.
