I May or May Not Be Salivating Over How Good the Cast of Death on the Nile Is

The director and star will return as Christie's famed French detective. This time Poirot will find himself investigating the murder of a young heiress while on holiday on the Nile.

Bateman is set to reprise his character from Murder on the Orient Express, Bouc, who's a personal friend of Poirot.

The Wonder Woman actress will play Linnet Ridgeway Doyle, the heiress whose death prompts Poirot's investigation.

Hammer (Call Me By Your Name) is on board as Linnet's husband, Simon, who falls under suspicion when his wife is killed.

The Black Panther alum's character, Rosalie, is a lead suspect in the story. Olivia Hussey played her in the 1978 adaptation starring Peter Ustinov and Mia Farrow.

Bening has signed on to play a character named Euphemia, who doesn't appear in Christie's novel. How will she fit into Poirot's investigation? We're excited to find out.

We aren't sure who the Indian actor and model is playing, but after watching his incredible turn in Victoria & Abdul, hopefully it's a big part.

The Good Fight star is also a part of the ensemble cast.

The British actress has appeared in everything from The Secret Life of Bees to Hellboy, and we're excited to see who she'll play in this.

Sex Education star Emma Mackey has joined the cast in an undisclosed role.

The French and Saunders alum is attached to play . . . well, we don't know yet, but we're sure she'll be great!

The other French and Saunders alum is also attached to play a mysterious character in the film.

The author and comedian will no doubt bring a humourous edge to whatever character he plays.
