stars  Sir Kenneth Branagh worked with the technical department to cause surprises for the cast. The actors were not warned about lights going out suddenly, or gusts of wind and slamming doors on the sets in which they worked, causing genuine confused and startled reactions from the actors to appear in the film. Kelly Reilly confirmed that filming the seance scene was a terrifying experience saying in an interview, "It scared the bejesus out of me."

stars  Poirot suggests that Leopold should read Dickens. In Murder on the Orient Express (2017) Poirot is seen reading 'A Tale of Two Cities' and in Death on the Nile (2022) he reads "The Mystery of Edwin Drood"- the latter being the author's final novel, an unfinished murder mystery not revealing the killer's identity because of Dickens' untimely death, something which would most definitely intrigue Poirot in deducing for himself.

stars  Filmed on location in Venice. Branagh wanted to use as many physical sets possible for filming.
