With so much success and the John Kramer fandom officially resurrected, it begs the question, will there be a Saw 11? In an interview withDexertoahead of the release of Saw X,producer Oren Koulessaid: “We’re very superstitious. We don’t even start thinking aboutSaw 11or the next movie until after the latest one is released. But I’d bet on it.”
Now that’s a bet we’d take, as the ending of Saw X sets itself right up for a sequel. In a sneaky mid-credits scene, we see John’s so-called fellow cancer patient Henry, who had a hand in tricking Kramer into the con, strung up in the famous bathroom from Saw 1. Then comes the classic Saw twist, from behind Henry appears Jigsaw’s second assistant’, his most notorious sidekick: Detective Mark Hoffman.
This leads us to believe that Kramer has unfinished business, and with his two trusty assistants by his side, we can only imagine what the trio will get up to in Saw 11, and it looks likeAmandaand the detective aren’t the only characters eager to return to the franchise.
Co-producer Mark Burg added: “Saw X ends where I think the audience will want to know what happens, and there’s kind of a cliffhanger ending… And should this movie work, there are going to be a bunch of actors from the past who have already called wanting to know if they can come and be in the next movie since we’re going back in time.”
As the tenth installment jumps back in time and takes placebetween the first and second Saw movies, it is possible that all of the characters either dead, lost, or forgotten could make a return to the franchise if Saw 11 were to take place right after Saw X. Could this mean audiences will finally get to see what happens to Adam? Or find out what led Amanda to betray Jigsaw and start making unbeatable traps?
