Unlike his most recent release, Split, which, due to its brilliant marketing campaign, managed to successfully fly under the radars of many superhero movie aficionados, director M. Night Shaymalan is being a lot more forthcoming with his next directorial venture, which he himself has confirmed will be a sequel to both Split and his 2000 cult classic Unbreakable.

He took to Twitter earlier this afternoon to announce that he has completed the first draft of the film's script and revealed that Golden Globe-winner Bruce Willis (Die Hard), Academy Award-nominee Samuel L. Jackson (Avengers: Infinity War), Golden Globe-nominee James McAvoy (X-Men), and Anya Taylor Joy (Thoroughbred) will all be back for the sequel, reprising their roles from the previous two films.

Shaymalan also revealed the film's official title, which pays homage to the series' most iconic villain: Glass. 

Glass will once again be distributed by Universal Pictures and will bow in theaters on January 18, 2019.

@MattBellissimo - Maybe M,Knight should squeeze the alien invasion in to the mix from "Signs" and Bruce take care of them too!!!

@MattBellissimo - I'm gonna have to see Split. Didn't realize that was Shamalayan. I'm not checking my spelling on that. Does Split give the sense that it's related to Unbreakable in some way? This is all a total surprise to me.

@Santanaonfire - I think Split has a scene showing Bruce Willis in a diner watching tv news and he's listed as the character from Unbreakable.

@JonasWepeel - at the end there is a scene in a diner and these two girls are listening to the TV report about Kevin when one girl says "this is like that crazy guy in the wheelchair they put away 15 years ago, they gave him a funny name too, what was it?"
Dunn replies "Mr. Glass"
The girl nods her head and walks off leaving Bruce Willis as David Dunn drinking coffee reflecting on things.

@Santanaonfire - It was meant to surprise. It takes place in Philly, but other than that, there was generally no clue until one of the final scenes (if not the final) some patrons eating at a diner (or something like that), the TV is showing the news regarding the Split character(s), a customer mentions something about it reminding them of that bad guy from years ago, and then the camera pans over to another customer,
David Dunn, who comments something like, "They called him Mr. Glass." I wish I could have seen that before I knew. It would have been the highlight of the film.

@CyberBishop - Well, that's awesome. I wonder how Dunn's power would work with a split personality. If Dunn bumps into him, then which personality's memories will he see?

@robometrallador - Can't wait! Sounds awesome. I know the general audience was mixed about Unbreakable, but I loved it. It wasn't a cool, realistic take on comic book style heroes and villains. I loved the subtlety of it.

@SuperCat - Great movie! James McAvoy is awesome, the way he switches between all his personalities is really, really great! He creeped the hell out of me.
