Saw is one of the most popular and scary horror movies so far. It is expected that a special reboot to this original film is coming soon. It is one of the longest-running horror film series. The Saw series was started back in 2004, and these films are filled with tortures and murders. The Saw series was one of the scariest series of that time as compared to other films like Hostel. If we talk about its up-coming reboot, how the franchise would have looked if it were made today.



Here are some of the most significant characters of the Saw franchise that can be cast for the reboot of the Saw.

Detective Tapp: Ving Rhames

Danny Glover played the role of Detective Tapp and appeared in only the first saw film. Tapp was a homicide cop who hunts down the mysterious serial killer known as Jigsaw. Ving Rhames is one of the intimidating personalities needed for this sort of role. He is already known for such kinds of roles in movies like Pulp Fiction and the Mission: Impossible franchise. He could easily play the role of a cop in this movie.

Detective Allison Kerry: Cobie Smulders

Detective Allison Kerry has appeared in the first three Saw films, but never got much spotlight in the franchise. She was also one of the cops in the film Saw and was a helping hand for Tapp and later Eric Matthews when they were investigating Jigsaw. In the end, she became a victim of one of the traps of Jigsaw. Cobie Smulders can play this role very well as she is already known for impressive roles in Marvel Cinematic Universe as Nick Fury’s loyal Maria Hill and in How I Met Your Mother as Robin Scherbatsky. She can easily grab this opportunity to show her detective skills.

Jill Tuck: Jennifer Anniston

Jill Tuck was first introduced in the film, Saw 3. She was the ex-wife of John Kramer/Jigsaw. John became Jigsaw after the loss of his son. Jennifer Anniston is commonly known for her comedic roles, and it might be interesting to see her in a role like this.

Daniel Rigg: Jovan Adepo

Daniel Rigg has first appeared in Saw 2. In the films, Saw 2 and Saw 3, he was just a secondary cop helping Eric Matthews and Allison Kerry. However, Riggs became the primary character in Saw 4. He also wanted to hunt down Jigsaw, but unfortunately, it led him to a deadly path. Nowadays, Jovan Adepo is one of the most impressive actors who can play this role very well. He could be ideal for this role.

Adam Stanheight: Steven Yeun

Adam Stanheight has appeared only in the first Saw film, but he was one of the most important characters in the Saw franchise. He was forced to play Jigsaw’s twisted game in the first film. Steven Yeun played the perfect role of Glenn in the film, The Walking Dead and he is the perfect actor to play the role of Adam in the Saw franchise.

After discussing some of the best actors that can be re-cast for the Saw franchise, we have concluded that various actors in today’s date can play the characters of the Saw franchise especially Ving Rhames as Detective Tapp, Jennifer Anniston as Jill Tuck, and many more.
