Saw is one of the biggest horror franchises in the world with nine films and over one billion in box office earnings. This September, there will be a tenth installment titled Saw X.
The main antagonist of the Saw franchise, John Kramer, also known as Jigsaw, has played both minor and major roles in every Saw installment – apart from Spiral – since the franchise launched in 2004. Despite this, the character has yet to play a central role, until now.
Kevin Greutert, the director of the forthcoming film, recently sat down for an interview with Empire Magazine where he talked about the film. During the interview, Greutert revealed we will see more of Jigsaw in Saw X than in every other Saw installment. He went as far as describing Kramer as the "center of the story" in his film.
The last installment in the franchise, Spiral: From the Book of Saw, which was a spinoff, tried to do away with Jigsaw. It was the first film to do so in the franchise and Greutert noted he wouldn't have done things that way. His approach is the direct opposite of that and will see the character take on a more involved role.
