Murder on the Orient Express
In a rather unexpected turn given its genre , Murder on the Orient Expressactually sets up a subsequence . But does it go as far into enfranchisement - teasing soil as having a post - credits tantrum ?
Kenneth Branagh ’s classical reimagining of Agatha Christie ’s prime Poirot pits the histrion - director against a glitzy mold of suspect ( anda not - in - it - anywhere - near - as - much - as - you - feared Johnny Depp ) , forced to solve a whodunit on the claustrophobic , isolated train of the title . The review for the film have been integrate so far - critics have praised the managing director ’s style but not his handling of suspense - although with such a great germ is sure to get in touch with its audience regardless . And that hearing require to know whether they can skip out once the mystery ’s solved or need to wait through the credits for one further clue .
It ’s by all odds deserving sticking around through the first part of the credits for the attendant song but , after that , you ’re good to go -there is no post - credits aspect forMurder on the Orient Express .
However , you ’d be forgiven for have Poirot - like distrust of a slight cut given how the celluloid ends . Of course , this is an ostensibly faithful adaptation of Christie ’s plot ( albeit with some readjustment to the personality of the detective at its core ) , but it ’s made in 2017 and seems mindful of franchise potential ; the final moments rather coyly dally up the possibility of a young take on the next most famed Poirot story ( we wo n’t flub which to observe the surprisal ) .
With that in head , it would have definitely been coolheaded to get a tease of that - a coup d’oeil of the murder or even a neat location setter - snuck in at the remainder of the credits . It ’s not like Branagh ’s not experience shape in this area ; he obviously conduct MCU movieThor , which at once limit upCaptain America : The First AvengerandThe Avengers , but his live - action remake ofCinderellaalso included a humorous little stinger from Helena Bonham Carter ’s Fairy Godmother .
Of of course , they may have select to not include one to avoid signs of hubris . The ecesis of a new secret in the moving-picture show itself doubles as a rounding error off of Poirot ’s discharge , a meta - textual trick played by Branagh , so does n’t actually find like obsessional continuation teasing . A post - credits scene , however , totally would . No second film is limit ( although the producers and manager have talked about their desire for more ) and it really hinge on how successfulMurderis ; best look until those boxful office numbers are in before pay back too cocky .
