First 'Murder on the Orient Express' Trailer Has Viewers Asking the Wrong Question

Whodunnit? That's what many fans are asking after the first star-studded trailer for "Murder on the Orient Express," but they don't mean the murder.

Instead, after admiring the cast and mystery set-up, many viewers are wondering who decided Imagine Dragons's "Believer" was a fitting song choice for an Agatha Christie adaptation set in the early 20th century.

The only person who deserves to get murdered on The Orient Express is the person that put Imagine Dragons in the trailer. #orientexpress

Or, as one put it in Collider's comments, "I could care less about who the murderer in the film is, I just want to know the murderer to my ears who thought that this trailer needed Imagine Dragons to catch the viewers attention. Who the f*ck thought that was a good idea?!?"

Ah, mon ami. That is the true mystery.

There are also questions about director Kenneth Branagh's facial hair and strong accent as Hercule Poirot, but that's just Branagh being Branagh. He'll chew the scenery the whole time. Just let him have his fun.

But these questions distract from the murder mystery, which -- conspiracy! -- may have been the whole point. 'Cause otherwise people might just go and read the book for spoilers, or go back to complaining about Johnny Depp. (Some fans are pleased that he seems to be the movie's victim, which is problematic on its own.)

Anyway, music aside, the trailer has us hooked. Here it is, complete with handy graphics to let us know who is who:And here's the synopsis:
