Kenneth Branagh is spotted on set 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, took to the city of water in a police waterboat while reprising the detective role, which he has famously sported before in 2017’s Murder On the Orient Express and 2022’s Death On The Nile.

Kenneth was seen filming alongside Riccardo Scamarcio for scenes on the water as they travelled via a wooden police boat – with ‘Polizia’ added on the side.
The duo protected from the winter rain as they both held black umbrellas above their heads during the scenes.
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.

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.
