Actor Chris Rock hopes his upcoming horror thriller, Spiral: From The Book Of Saw deserves a sequel with him reprising his original role.

I hope this movie is like 'Creed'. In the sense that 'Creed' is technically like 'Rocky 7'. So, hopefully there's more 'Spirals' and hopefully I'm in more 'Spirals'," he said in a recent interview.

Talking about how bagged the film, he said: "I was at a friend's wedding and they introduced me to the head of Lionsgate. I was like, 'Lionsgate'? Oh, 'Saw'.' They called me up. I was just poking fun at the Lionsgate about 'Saw'!"

Spiral is the ninth release in the Saw film series. Its directed by Darren Lynn Bousman and written by Josh Stolberg and Peter Goldfinger.

The film also stars Max Minghella, Marisol Nichols and Samuel L. Jackson.
