Death on the Nile is a mystery thriller film directed by Kenneth Branagh from a screenplay by Michael Green, based on the 1937 novel of the same name by Agatha Christie. In the film, an unexpected murder occurs on the yacht S.S. Karnak on its Nile journey through Egypt. Famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot is tasked with determining who of the passengers is the killer before they can move on to another victim.

Agatha Christie's original novels tap deeply into people's lusts and carnal pleasures, which get them caught up in merciless machination and behaviors, shrouded in a facade of their polite, luxurious, noble  and romantic appearances.

Armie Hammer plays Simon Doyle, husband of Linnet (Gal Gadot) and ex-lover of Jacqueline (Emma Mackey). Jacqueline is another jealous old friend of Linnet.

When Armie Hammer was involved in a scandal about suspicions of "cannibalism", "sexual abuse", there were many rumors that the film producer was re-casting another actor to replace Armie, or even use technique to digitally remove Armie's character from every frame. However, maybe it proved to be too complicated to do so because at that time the movie has been basically finished, Armie's role is still kept.

Armie's image is placed at a limited position on the main poster of the movie, he also does not have his own character poster like many other cast. In the first teaser, there was no footage of Armie, to the official trailer, there are a few short segments of him.
