Whether it's his Shakespeare adaptations, his work on Marvel's Thor, Disney's Cinderella, or the underwhelming Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Kenneth Branagh can boast three things. He's diverse, his movies always are gorgeous, and he can gather one Hell of a cast. And all of those things come together spectacularly in the first trailer for Murder On the Orient Express.
Branagh pulls double duty, directing and starring as Agatha Christie's iconic detective Hercule Poirot, joined by Daisy Ridley, Tom Bateman, Lucy Boynton, Penelope Cruz, Derek Jacobi, Olivia Colman, Judi Dench, Willem Dafoe, Johnny Depp, Josh Gad, Leslie Odom Jr., and Michele Pfeiffer. A remake of the Oscar-nominated 1974 film, it follows Poirot's investigation of a murder aboard the titular train, and with Branagh in the role he appears to be much more active than before.
Murder On the Orient Express opens November 10th.
