Franchise co-creator James Wan reassured fans at the Sundance Film Festival that John Kramer, portrayed by Tobin Bell, remains central to the upcoming Saw XI. Wan and Leigh Whannell aim to recapture the psychological dread of the original film, focusing on Jigsaw’s menacing presence rather than gimmicks. They hope to respect fan expectations while introducing fresh elements, as Saw XI moves forward under Blumhouse’s ownership. No release date has been announced yet.
