A new take on a classic whodunit is heading to cinemas later this year, and the first trailer for Death on the Nile has now been revealed.
The sequel to 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express sees Kenneth Branagh revisit his role as Agatha Christie’s detective Hercule Poirot, with a whole host of stars along for the murder mystery.
The film follows Poirot as he takes on a new case in Egypt, involving the murderous fallout from a passionate love triangle.
The new clip focuses on the central relationship between Gal Gadot and Armie Hammer’s characters, hinting at the dark events taking place around them.
“The romance of the desert has the power to seduce,” Branagh’s Poirot says in the clip. “I ask you, have you ever loved so much, been so possessed by jealousy that you might kill them?”
“I have investigated many crimes, but this has altered the shape of my soul,” Branagh adds, with the suspects gathered together in a room in classic Christie style.
Death on Nile features a selection of huge names, with Gadot, Hammer, Letitia Wright, Annette Bening, Ali Fazal, Sophie Okonedo, Tom Bateman, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders and Russell Brand all starring.
Branagh directs the film, with the script from Murder on The Orient Express screenwriter Michael Green. The new film is set to be released in cinemas on October 23.
