Comedian Chris Rock’s surprise reboot of the Saw horror franchise has just added Samuel L. Jackson (Spider-Man: Far From Home, Captain Marvel) to the cast.
Lionsgate confirmed to IGN that Samuel L. Jackson will join the upcoming Saw reboot as the father of Chris Rock’s character. Rock will star as a police detective investigating a series of crimes likely tied to the Jigsaw Killer. Joining Rock and Jackson are Max Minghella (The Handmaid’s Tale) and Marisol Nichols (Riverdale) who will play Rock's partner and the police captain, respectively.
Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures revealed the Saw reboot's development back in May when the companies announced that Chris Rock had a “fresh reimagining" for the next Saw movie. Rock is reportedly a fan of the Saw series and his ideas served as an influence for the upcoming reboot. Pete Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg are writing the screenplay, and Saw 2, Saw 3, and Saw 4 director Darren Lynn Bousman will return to the franchise to direct the upcoming Saw film.
