10 Upcoming Movies That Are Doomed To Fail
10. Death On The Nile
Kicking off this list with arguably the most questionable casting decision of 2022 - or should that be lack of re-casting decision - Kenneth Branagh has once again assembled a who's who of top thespians to point the finger in his latest Agatha Christe adaptation, Death on the Nile.
But while his first stab at the sacred whodunnit formula steamrolled its way to a not too shabby $352.8 million at the box office on a $55 million budget, the chances of Branagh repeating this trick look flimsy thanks to a rather unwanted shadow cast over his not-yet-released follow-up.
In the wake of numerous sexual abuse allegations being sent Armie Hammer's way in the lead-up to the film's release, Branagh and Disney's decision to hold onto him as one of the feature's leading faces feels like the sort of move that could see many audience members give this one a miss from the off.
On top of this controversy likely impacting the bottom line, the cast itself, whilst strong, also isn't quite as star-studded as the previous Johnny Depp, and Dame Judi Dench-boasting line-up, with Gal Gadot, Russell Brand and Letitia Wright acting as the film's only real big-hitters this time round.
