Gal Gadot's mysterious femme fatale Linnet Ridgeway-Doyle is the center of murderous attention in the official ‘Death on the Nile’ poster. Gadot is one of the multiple A-list stars joining Kenneth Branagh's Agatha Christie franchise alongside Annette Bening, Russel Brand, Ali Fazal, Dawn French, Armie Hammer, Rose Leslie, Emma Mackey, Sophie Okonedo, Jennifer Saunders and Letitia Wright. Branagh also returns to lead the cast of Death on the Nile as iconic private detective Hercule Poirot and Tom Bateman as his friend Bouc from ‘Murder on the Orient Express’.
Based on Christie's 1937 novel of the same name, ‘Death on the Nile’ follows Poirot on what was intended to be a peaceful vacation down the titular Egyptian river aboard the luxury steamer, the S.S. Karnak, with picture-perfect newlyweds Simon and Linnet Ridgeway-Doyle. However, the tranquility is interrupted when one of the passengers is found murdered, requiring the renowned Belgian detective to once again utilize his investigative skills to get to the bottom of the mystery. With production having been wrapped on ‘Death on the Nile’ for the past two years, the film is finally gearing up to hit theaters early next year.
On the heels of debuting the trailer for the film, 20th Century Studios has released the official ‘Death on the Nile’ poster. The key art sees Gal Gadot as the center of attention for the ensemble murder mystery cast aboard the luxury steamer.
Much like the trailer released this week, the ‘Death on the Nile’ poster is sure to draw curiosity from audiences over the inclusion of Armie Hammer in the project following the wave of rape allegations leveled against him last year. - Screen Rant
