Kenneth Branagh, who directed the adaptation of the Agatha Christie classic, is returning as director and is expected to reprise his role as master detective Hercule Poirot, reports hollywoodreporter.com.

"Death on the Nile", first published in 1937, saw the detective on a vacation in Egypt and becoming involved in a love triangle gone murderously bad. The novel featured socialites, social climbers and high society's help in the cast of suspects.

Gadot is currently shooting "Wonder Woman 1984".
