Chris Rockis leaving the laughs behind as he enters theSawworld.
The comedian stars as Detective Ezekiel Banks in the upcoming filmSpiral, the ninth film in theSawhorror franchise. The teaser trailer opens with Banks and his new partner, Detective William(The Handmaid’sTale‘s Max Minghella) driving around in their police car before being called to the scene of a crime.
“Whoever did this has another motive,” one unseen character says during the trailer. “They’re targeting cops.”
A red spiral symbol is also painted near the scene of each murder — the mark of theSawfranchise’s iconic villain Jigsaw. The trailer also shows a brief glimpse at one of the new “death traps” fans have come to know from theSawmovies.
