  • Kenneth Branagh has expressed interest in returning as Hercule Poirot and already has a story in mind for a possible comeback.
  • In 2026, he also appeared alongside Ryan Reynolds in the action comedy Mayday, playing a former KGB agent.

Kenneth Branagh wants to be Hercule Poirot again, and he already knows which story he would use for a return. The actor-director is seeking to continue the series after three Agatha Christie adaptations with different moods.

Branagh also tried a very different genre in 2026. In the action comedy Mayday, released on Apple TV on Sept. 4, he stars alongside Ryan Reynolds as a former KGB agent.

The role adds another turn to a six-decade career that has taken Branagh from Shakespearean heroes and Marvel films to the classic detective and now action cinema.
