What if Marvel was real?

Writer/director M. Night Shyamalan's simultaneous sequel to UNBREAKABLE and SPLIT will be upon us this January. And today we have a handful of killer new stills for the film, highlighting the three main stars of Bruce Willis, James McAvoy, and Mr. Glass himself Samuel L. Jackson. Not only that, but Shyamalan also talked a bit about GLASS over with Total Film and dropped the above quote regarding his inspiration: "What if Marvel was real?" 

Shyamalan tells Total Film:

I wasn’t sure that this was going to work. I was like, ‘This is the one time I’m writing something that I need these actors to say yes, and I and I need the studio to say yes.’ I’m very, very lucky.

He then adds:

The first one is the origin story of David, and the next one is the origin story of Kevin. This one, to some extent, is focused on Mr. Glass, and: what does this mean for Elijah and his belief system?

Returning with Willis and Jackson from UNBREAKABLE is Spencer Treat Clark as Dunn's son and Charlayne Woodard as Price's mother. Back with McAvoy from SPLIT is Anya Taylor-Joy (THE WITCH). Sarah Paulson (AMERICAN HORROR STORY) joins the cast this time around as well.

The story 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.

Shyamalan produced GLASS with Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions, Ashwin Rajan, and Marc Bienstock. Steven Schneider, Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum, and Kevin Frakes served as executive producers. GLASS is scheduled to reach theatres on January 18, 2019.
