‘Unbreakable’ and ‘Split’ Sequel ‘Glass’ is Coming 2019; First Details!
After nearly twenty years, we’re finally getting a follow-up to Shyamalan’s masterpiece.
If you haven’t seen Split by now, well, let’s just say you’ve been given every chance to see Split by now. With the film now out on home video, I think it’s safe to say that everybody knows that the James McAvoy-starring film was something of a sequel to Shyamalan’s Unbreakable. Bruce Willis reprised the role of the heroic David Dunn for a genuinely shocking final scene at the end of the film, suggesting that Dunn and Kevin Wendell Crumb will eventually come face to face.
And indeed they will, as Shyamalan just confirmed that Glass will be a sequel to both Unbreakable and Split, with ALL major stars returning. And it’s coming January 18, 2019.
Taking to Twitter today, Shyamalan laid out all the details:
Okay. Here we go. Finished the new script.

Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
