Kenneth Branagh once again sports his character Hercule Poirot’s signature moustache as he continues filming for A Haunting in Venice
He’s been filming for new crime-mystery A Haunting In Venice over the last few weeks.
And Kenneth Branagh once again transformed into his role of Hercule Poirot on Monday as he was snapped on set in the Italian city with his period costume on.
The British actor, 62, brought back his characters’ signature moustache for the scenes, which he has famously sported before in 2017’s Murder On the Orient Express and 2022’s Death On The Nile.

Kenneth layered a double-breasted navy coat over his matching suit, which was teamed with a crisp white shirt and red tie.
The actor and filmmaker added a homburg hat and leather gloves while carrying his detective character’s cane.
During the scenes, he strolled through Venice before acting out some on a rustic balcony.
While the Academy Award winner also spent some time behind the camera as he was snapped having a look through the lense.

Kenneth will star alongside Tina Fey in the film, as well as Jamie Dornan, Michelle Yeoh, Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Jude Hill, Ali Khan, Emma Laird, Kelly Reilly and Riccardo Scamarcio.

It comes after Kenneth’s co-star Jamie admitted that he found his signature moustache ‘intimidating’.
Speaking on The Graham Norton show he said: ‘I felt very insecure and inferior the whole time because his moustache was unbelievable’.
‘[His facial hair is] the best in film history as Poirot, while mine was a wee attempt at one.’
Jamie said it was also ‘very different’ acting alongside the Oscar winner, after only previously being directed by him.
