Some brand new set photos and the first set video fromGlass, akaSplit 2, have arrived online. M. Night Shyamalan managed to get himself out of director’s jail with this year’sSplit, which turned out to be a secret sequel to his second movie,Unbreakable. Now, he’s hard at work filming the follow-up, officially titledGlass, which will complete the director’s unconventional superhero trilogy. Now, thanks to a new set video, we have our first look at a showdown between Bruce Willis and James McAvoy in the movie.
In the video, we see Bruce Willis' David Dunn pinningJames McAvoy’s Beastagainst a van. Things get ugly when the two start exchanging blows. It’s not really a boxing match, but it looks really intense. We haven’t seen David Dunn for years, so it’s possible his powers have increased sinceUnbreakable. And we know fromSplitthat The Beast is a very formidable opponent.
Glasspicks up following the conclusion ofSplitand finds David Dunn (Bruce Willis) pursuing Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy), aka The Beast, in a series of escalating encounters. Like the one that we see here in this set video. While this is going on, the shadowy presence of Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson), aka Mr.Glass, emerges as an orchestrator who holds secrets critical to both men. The end ofSplitsaw David Dunn at a coffee shop watching a news report about the events that transpired,connecting the world’s of Split and Unbreakabletogether.Glasslooks to take that one step further, which is an exciting prospect.
In addition to the set video, quite a few set photos fromGlasshave made their way online as well. We have a new shot ofSamuel L. Jackson’s Mr. Glass. There’s also a shot of Bruce Willis not covered by a raincoat, as well as a look at Anya Taylor Joy, who reprises her role fromSplitin the sequel. There’s also a shot of James McAvoy walking around shirtless, just as he’s seen in the fight depicted in the video. Some of the shots aren’t of the greatest quality, as is often the case with these set photos, but they’re likely enough to get fans excited for the conclusion of theUnbreakabletrilogy.
Even though M. Night Shyamalan is busyfilming the sequel right now, it’s not scheduled to hit theaters until July 29, 2025. So we’ve still got to wait a while before actually getting to see this showdown in its finished form. Considering thatSplitenjoyed such success at the box office ($276.9 million worldwide) with a January release, it seems like Blumhouse wants to employ the same strategy withSplit 2/Unbreakable 2.
