David Dunn will come back to the screen, as will Mr. Glass. Manoj Shyamalan announced recently that 17 years after Unbreakable, he will make a sequel to the film that will bring the characters of Unbreakable and Split together. Vulture reports, and says that this sequel too will be produced by Blumhouse and Universal, who collaborated with Shyamalan on Split.

It’s taken 17 years but I can finally answer the #1 question I get, “Are you making a f#&@ing sequel to Unbreakable or what?”

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

I’m reteaming with my partners @jason_blum and @Universalpics for this crazy comic book thriller.

And the film is called GLASS…

The film will star Bruce Willis, who played the original David Dunn, James McAvoy who played the multiple-character-personalities The Beast, Samuel L Jackson as Mr. Glass, and Anya Taylor Joy as Casey Cooke. Vulture speculates this film too will be set in Philadelphia, the scene for almost all of Shyamalan’s films.
