"Wonder Woman" star Gal Gadot is set to star in the upcoming adaptation of Agatha Christie's 1937 novel "Death on the Nile". The film is a follow up to 20th Century Fox's "Murder on the Orient Express", which grossed over $350 million worldwide last year. Kenneth Branagh will return to direct and star as famed detective Hercule Poirot. Judy Hofflund, Simon Kinberg, Ridley Scott, Kevin Walsh and Mark Gordon are producing.
The story centers on Poirot investigating a murder that takes place during a luxurious cruise on the Nile River. Gadot will play Lennet Ridgeway Doyle, a rich heiress. Orient Express writer Michael Green will also return to pen the adaptation. The film is scheduled for release on December 20, 2019.
"Death on the Nile" was previously adapted for the big screen in 1978. That film starred Peter Ustinov as Poirot, and the supporting cast included Bette Davis, Angela Lansbury, Maggie Smith, Mia Farrow and David Niven.
The Israeli actress is currently filming "Wonder Woman 1984", and she will also star opposite Dwayne Johnson in the action-comedy "Red Notice". She is also in talks to star in Showtime's upcoming Hedy Lamarr miniseries.
