15 Predictions For 2017 Movies That Everybody Got Wrong

8. Dr. Gordon Returns - Jigsaw

Saw 3D Cary Elwes Gordon
Lionsgate

The Prediction: With 2010's "final" entry into the Saw franchise ending with the reveal that Dr. Gordon was another secret apprentice of Jigsaw, it seemed dead certain that he'd appear in the new movie in some form, right?

The Reality: Oddly, Gordon is nowhere to be seen nor is he even mentioned. A big chunk of the movie in fact takes place in the past before Gordon was ever tested, and with the final twist revealing yet another new Jigsaw apprentice to take over John Kramer's work, it doesn't really seem like Gordon's going to be featured again.

Don't rule out a cameo in Saw 12 or something, but effectively being a soft-reboot as it is, Jigsaw didn't delve too deep into the series' wider legacy beyond Kramer himself.
