Jigsaw returns! Tobin Bell, who played the maniacal killer known for orchestrating twisted tests in the “Saw” movies, is returning for the next installment in the horror series.
James Wan and Leigh Whannell created the “Saw” franchise, revolving around the mysterious and disturbing John “Jigsaw” Kramer, who puts his victims through deadly games to test their wills to live. Bell played the calculated executioner in the first eight movies, but he wasn’t involved in the ninth film, 2021’s “Spiral,” which instead focused on a copycat killer.
“What a thrill to be reuniting with Tobin,” said producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules. “His performance as John Kramer is part of the magic that made this franchise a phenomenon and his character is an active part of this film.”
The 10th “Saw” movie, which doesn’t have an official title, is going into production later this month. It’s slated to release in theaters on Oct.

Awkwafina will star in the fantasy-adventure feature film “The Last Adventure of Constance Verity” for Legendary.
The production company has acquired the feature film rights to adapt the eponymous series written by A. Lee Martinez. John Raffo has written the script.
