Glass, the highly anticipated sequel / crossover toM. Night Shyamalan’s moviesSplitandUnbreakable, has received its first poster online. The poster was revealed alongside the announcement thatGlasswill be showcased at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con on July 20th.
Audiences around the world were shocked early last year when M. Night Shyamalan’s latest movieSplit, starringX-Menactor James McAvoy, was revealed to be connected directly toUnbreakable, one of M. Night Shyamalan’s greatest movies starring Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. Audiences were even more shocked and excited when Shyamalan soon announced the movieGlass, which would combine the two movies in a crossover sequel. During the movie’s production, the actual details of the story were shrouded in mystery, but it finally looks like we will be getting a peak at what to expect from the next movie from visionary director M. Night Shyamalan.
The poster was revealed on Shyamalan’s Twitter, along with his announcement thatGlasswould becoming to San Diego Comic-Con this year. Here is what he had to say on the matter.
“I’m so excited to tell you thatGlasswill be at [San Diego Comic-Con]. I will be in Hall H on July 20th with the cast! You can expect a surprise as well…”
He then shared the poster online as a “fix” for those who couldn’t wait until July 20th. This announcement is actually great news, and could mean that we will see the first trailer forGlassduringGlass’s showcase at San Diego Comic-Con. Considering that Shyamalan shared the poster as a “sneak peek” of what’s to come, it’s unlikely that their presentation at Comic-Con will just include another poster followed up by a Q&A. Attendees of San Diego Comic-Con should surely expect to see a trailer forGlassto drop in Hall H, with a strong possibility of that trailer dropping on the Internet shortly thereafter.
Hopefully the trailer and the rest of the information revealed at Comic-Con will answer a number of fans' questions aboutGlass, including how the paths ofUnbreakable’sDavid DunnandSplit’s Kevin Wendell Crumb will end up crossing. Surely, this will not be a crossover M. Night Shyamalan fans will want to miss. A number of Shyamalan’s movies have been hit or miss over the years, but there is no denying that he did a fantastic job with the moviesUnbreakableandSplit. Assuming thatGlassis just as good as either of its predecessors, it is safe to say that we are in for quite a treat.
The revelation ofM. Night Shyamalan’s poster on Twitter is a great sign for audiences and fans anxious to get a glimpse ofGlassbefore the movie actually releases. The tone of the poster is a bit mind-bending and creepy, which seems perfect for the crossover movie. Hopefully we will see more amazing material just like this at San Diego Comic-Con next month, and whenGlassreleases in theaters on January 18th, 2019.
