M. Night Shyamalan and Universal are set to bring GLASS to Comic-Con this year, and they will indeed debut some first footage there. However, you don’t have to wait a month to get some new material for GLASS, because in a surprise move we now have a new teaser poster for the movie bringing Bruce Willis, James McAvoy and Samuel L. Jackson front and center.
Showing all three characters – David Dunn (Willis), Kevin Wendell Crumb (McAvoy) and Elijah Price (Jackson) – side-by-side we get a nice tease of the story setting of a mental institution, each fitted with their own color scheme. Along with the poster came a tweet from the Shyamalan saying the trailer for the movie will drop at Comic-Con on July 20.
But if you need your #GlassMovie fix before July 20th, here’s the world premiere of our teaser poster. pic.twitter.com/HsMa0bzR7N

At the end of SPLIT, we got a wallop of an ending that revealed the movie was a sequel to Shyamalan’s 2000 film UNBREAKABLE, showing Dunn watching news coverage of The Beast (one of Crumb’s personalities). But, according to a brief breakdown of footage our own Paul Shirey saw at CinemaCon, come this movie they’re all in an asylum and being treated as people who believe they are superheroes.
The poster is fantastic and does a great job of utilizing color to distinguish the characters and their personalities. It certainly wasn't what a lot of people were probably expecting, but it's an interesting piece of marketing for the film that gives just enough of a teaser to leave us wanting more.
GLASS hits theaters January 18, 2019.
