There’s no word on who Brand is in talks to play, but for an idea, here are the characters from Agatha Christie’s novel of the same name (via the Agatha Christie wiki):
It’s unclear whether all these characters will appear as they’re described in the movie, but as the cast grows, it’s likely we’ll see the majority of them. For now, we know that Gal Gadot is playing Linnet Ridgeway, Armie Hammer is Simon Doyle, and Letitia Wright is Rosalie Otterbourne. Our guess is that Brand could be playing Ferguson. Murder on the Orient Express screenwriter Michael Green returns to pen the Death on the Nile script, while Judy Hofflund, Simon Kinberg, Ridley Scott, Kevin Walsh, and Mark Gordon will produce.
Death on the Nile is scheduled to cruise into theaters on October 9, 2020.
