Director M. Night Shyamalan released on Friday the first poster for his upcoming movie GLASS. The highly anticipated sequel to SPLIT, and one that takes place in the UNBREAKABLE universe, this first poster shows the characters and their alter-egos.

Official synopsis:

M. Night Shyamalan brings together the narratives of two of his standout originals—2000’s Unbreakable, from Touchstone, and 2016’s Split, from Universal—in one explosive, all-new comic-book thriller: Glass.

From Unbreakable, Bruce Willis returns as David Dunn as does Samuel L. Jackson as Elijah Price, known also by his pseudonym Mr. Glass. Joining from Split are James McAvoy, reprising his role as Kevin Wendell Crumb and the multiple identities who reside within, and Anya Taylor-Joy as Casey Cooke, the only captive to survive an encounter with The Beast.

Following the conclusion of Split, Glass finds Dunn pursuing Crumb’s superhuman figure of The Beast in a series of escalating encounters, while the shadowy presence of Price emerges as an orchestrator who holds secrets critical to both men.

Joining the all-star cast are Unbreakable’s Spencer Treat Clark and Charlayne Woodard, who reprise their roles as Dunn’s son and Price’s mother, as well as Golden Globe Award winner Sarah Paulson (American Horror Story series).

This riveting culmination of his worldwide blockbusters is produced by Shyamalan and Blumhouse Production’s Jason Blum, who also produced the writer/director’s previous two films for Universal. They produce again with Ashwin Rajan and Marc Bienstock, and Steven Schneider, who executive produces.

A Blinding Edge Pictures and Blumhouse production, Glass will be released by Universal Pictures in North America and by Buena Vista International abroad.

In UNBREAKABLE (2000), Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson starred in a mind-shattering, suspense-filled thriller that stayed with you long after the end of this riveting supernatural film. After David Dunn (Willis) emerges from a horrific train crash as the sole survivor — and without a single scratch on him — he meets a mysterious stranger, Mr. Glass (Jackson). An unsettling stranger who believes comic book heroes walk the earth. A haunting stranger, whose obsession with David will change David’s life forever.

UNBREAKABLE is one of the best Superhero movies to date and was an ingenious backstory from the Oscar-nominated filmmaker.

The finale of SPLIT connected the films setting up the next chapter.

GLASS stars James McAvoy, Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis. Universal Pictures will release the film in theaters on January 18, 2019.

The director also mentioned:

I’m so excited to tell you that @GlassMovie will be at #ComicCon. I will be in Hall H on July 20th with the cast! You can expect a surprise as well…
