AceShowbiz - M. Night Shyamalan has taken to his Twitter account to announce "Unbreakable" / "Split" sequel. The sequel, titled "Glass", will bring back lead actors from both movies, who include Bruce Willis, James McAvoy, Samuel L. Jackson and Anya Taylor-Joy.

"My new film is the sequel to #Unbreakable AND #Split. It was always my dream to have both films collide in this third film," writes Shyamalan.

Willis will reprise his role as David Dunn from "Unbreakable", while McAvoy will return as Kevin Wendell Crumb and his 23 multiple personalities, including The Beast, from "Split". Jackson, who starred opposite Willis in "Unbreakable", will come back as Elijah Price or Mr. Glass, from which the title of the sequel is derived. Taylor-Joy will return as Casey Croke, a character who survived in "Split".

"Glass" is set right after the conclusion of "Split", with Dunn trying to pursue McAvoy's 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 will produce the comic book thriller alongside Jason Blum from Blumhouse Production. Steven Schneider is executive producing. The film will be released by Universal Pictures on January 18, 2019.

2000's "Unbreakable" grossed nearly $250 million worldwide. The movie follows Willis' Dunn, a security guard who happens to be a sole survivor of a devastating train crash. Enters Jackson's Mr. Glass, a comic-book art dealer who ensures Dunn that Dunn possesses superhuman power.

"Split", meanwhile, follows McAvoy's Kevin as a victim of childhood abuse diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder, who later kidnaps and imprisons three teenage girls. Willis made an uncredited cameo at the end of the movie, reprising his role as Dunn. "Split" nabbed a success at the box office, gaining $275 million against its modest budget.
