M. Night Shyamalan has announced that a sequel to both Unbreaklable and Split called Glass is in development.
Warning: Spoilers for Split follow...
The filmmaker confirmed the news on Twitter, revealing that both Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson will be reprising their Unbreakable roles as David Dunn and Elijah Price (aka Mr. Glass) for the sequel. Shyamalan has already finished writing the script and is producing the film with Jason Blum. Universal will be releasing Glass on January 18, 2019.
"It’s taken 17 years but I can finally answer the #1 question I get, 'Are you making a f#&@ing sequel to Unbreakable or what?' " Shyamalan tweeted. "My new film is the sequel to #Unbreakable AND #Split. It was always my dream to have both films collide in this third film."
Shyamalan also confirmed that James McAvoy's Split character Kevin is coming back for Glass along with Anya Taylor-Joy's Casey Cooke. At the end of Split, Willis' character David Dunn made a brief cameo, revealing that the film was set in the same universe as Unbreakable.
Glass will pick up right where Split leaves off, with David chasing after Kevin's superhuman figure The Beast "in a series of escalating encounters." Meanwhile, it's discovered that Mr. Glass, who suddenly reemerges, "holds secrets critical to both men."
According to Shyamalan, he planned Split's twist ending for two decades. For IGN's thoughts on Split, read our review to find out why we believe it "is an engaging, stylish psychological thriller." The film has also become one of Shyamalan's most successful at the box office.
