About 
Gladiator II doesn't do enough to set itself apart from the original. It justifies its existence but could have been better.

SAW: Four More Join The Cast Of New Film
SAW is gearing up for its newest installment, and four more have signed on to try and outwit Jigsaw. Renata Vaca (Midnight Family), Paulette Hernandez (Crown of Tears), Joshua Okamoto (VGLY), and Octavio Hinojosa (How to Survive Being Single) are joining Synnøve Macody Lund (Ragnarok), Steven Brand (The Sandman), and Michael Beach (Dahmer) in the tenth film in the franchise. Tobin Bell will play Jigsaw again, and the other franchise regular, Shawnee Smith, is rumored to be on board. The film is slated for release on October 27th, 2023. Saw franchise producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules said about Bell returning, "What a thrill to be reuniting with Tobin. His performance as John Kramer is part of the magic that made this franchise a phenomenon, and his character is an active part of this film." No word on plot details or what kind of traps fans can expect yet.
No Tobin Bell, No SAW
Kevin Greutert, who directed Saw VI and Saw: The Final Chapter and edited Saw I through V and Jigsaw, will helm the film. Commenting on the franchise return, producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules said, "We have been listening to what the fans have been asking for and are hard at work planning a movie that Saw aficionados and horror fans alike will love. And part of that is giving the reins to Kevin Greutert, director of Saw VI, which is still one of the fans' favorites in the entire series. More details will be revealed soon."
The SAW franchise is one of the most successful in the history of horror, having nine films under its belt that have combined to gross over $1 billion at the box office and with retail sales. Let that sink in for a minute. Even after the lukewarm reception of Spiral, the return of the franchise proper to theaters was inevitable. They cost next to nothing to make and make big money, even if you are talking about the later sequels. Really the franchise has never gone away if you count Jigsaw and Spiral. But if you had told me that all these years later, after the first one, we would be getting a tenth entry in the franchise, I would have laughed at you.
SAW 10 will release on October 27th, 2023.
