Gal Gadot has been set to star in Death On the Nile, the latest Agatha Christie adaptation set up at 20th Century Fox with Kenneth Branagh directing. The project came together last year as the studio was finding success with its Christie ensemble Murder on the Orient Express. The pic ended up grossing $352.8 million worldwide with Branagh at the helm and also playing master detective Hercule Poirot.
While she’s not a great actress, I’m glad to see her role in WW is opening doors and leading to other work. Hollywood is full of bad actors with lousy attitudes (Shia LeBoof). Gadot doesn’t project that, which is why it’s nice to see her rewarded.
