First Look at The Cast of Kenneth Branagh's Murder On The Orient Express
It’s all aboard for Kenneth Branagh's new take on Agatha Christie's Murder On The Orient Express as Entertainment Weekly opens an entire buffet cart of cast photos for the directors bold new take on the classic mystery.
And we’ve got serious moustache envy. Branagh, who as well as directing with play the redoubtable detective Hercule Poirot has the kind of facial hair that screams quirky yet consummate detective. If you wish to know the identity of the killer, simply stare into the moustache…it knows all.
The pictures also feature the likes of Daisy Ridley, Judi Dench, Olivia Colman, Hamilton veteran Leslie Odom Jr., Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and one Johnny Depp, who plays the ill-fated Edward Ratchett. And that’s not to mention Josh Gad, Michelle Pfeiffer and Penelope Cruz too. It’s standing room only with a cast this stacked.
Though as Branagh attests, the stacked ensemble was largely thanks to juggling schedules. "It was a ton of planning, I’ll tell you," he says. "A delicate web of availability."

Murder On The Orient Express will pull into UK cinemas on the 24th November.
