Unbreakable‘s Samuel L. Jackson returns as Elijah Price/Mr. Glass, while Bruce Willis reprises his role as the film’s hero, David Dunn, in M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass, a sequel to both Unbreakable and Split. Anya Taylor-Joy also stars with James McAvoy returning as “The Beast” and Sarah Paulson rounding out the main cast.
At CinemaCon today, Shyamalan revealed the first footage for Glass, not yet available online. What is available is some early art (above), along with brand new plot details.
Shyamalan describes the film as a “grounded comic book thriller.“
Here are some footage descriptions, via @EricVespe and @slashfilm…
Glass looks fantastic. Paulson plays a psychiatrist studying delusional people… specializing in those that think they’re superheroes. Jackson, Willis and McAvoy were all locked up together, being interviewed by her.

Saw glimpses of The Beast let loose, running like an animal, McAvoy reuniting with Anya Taylor-Joy’s character… footage ended with a voice “what do we call you?” Shot of Sam Jackson: “First name Mister. Last name Glass.” Then title. I’m so, so, so in for this.

First trailer from M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass reveals a story where Sarah Paulson plays a psychiatrist exploring three individual locked up who believe they have super powers. Looks like a smaller film than I thought it would be.

Some cool footage of them breaking out and reclaiming their place in this world. Ends with Sam Jackson telling someone to call his “Glass”. #CinemaCon
