Kenneth Branagh’s Hercule Poirot Franchise Could Continue After Haunting In Venice

A Haunting in Venice producer James Prichard has hinted that Kenneth Branagh’s detective Hercule Poirot could potentially return in many more outings to come. Officially marking the third time Branagh has played Agatha Christie’s iconic Belgian sleuth, A Haunting in Venice is the latest installment in a cinematic franchise that began with 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express. Moving away from some of Christie’s better-known works, this latest film is based on the 1969 novel Hallowe’en Party and will replace the book’s original London setting with the titular Italian city.
